How about handling a large transaction without internet access? Say you want to transact in the middle of space. What now? Wait until you get back to some connection?

As silly as it sounds, this system is not scalable.

The fact that it does not scale into a far far future where more than 0.00000000125% of the humans is in orbit/space does not mean that it is not a good system for today & the upcoming decades.
