Mining Bitcoin on the moon is not a new idea and it will happen sooner or later.
The idea of mining Bitcoin in the moon is not feasible at the moment, the technology is not ready yet, setting up Bitcoin full nodes with lightning would be better for a start. For miners there will need to be a lot of testing with mining rigs in LEO (low earth orbit) and this will allow for environmental hardening and testing prior to the more harsh lunar environment.
The early installs will be for marketing purposes and prototyping/testing. The not too many tons budget for the next few decades is primarily determined by governments, so private companies and individuals will need to push limits and pay by themselves if the plan should happen in the near future.
The idea is to make a sound and secure monetary system on the moon. At the same time, it will be possible to use the excessive energy from solar panels, nuclear plants and thermo-electric generators (TEG) in low-demand periods for the space powerstations which are soon to be made by the US, China, UK and Japan.
