BTZ Chain and BICOIN
What does "1 BTZ = 1 minute of life" mean?
A yardstick of purpose, not a price: BTZ Chain proposes human lifetime as the measure of what is recorded on the network. It states no market value.
The phrase "1 BTZ = 1 minute of human life" is the yardstick of purpose of BICOIN, the BTZ Chain coin created by Bairo Leandro Gonzalez Martinez. It says that the network's measure is people's time. It is not a price, it is not a quote, and it promises no market value.
Where the idea comes from
Bairo starts from a question: what if human lifetime were the most honest measure of value? Money can be recovered; time cannot. A network that measures interactions by the time of real people is, in his view, a network where truth is worth more than volume.
The idea echoes a well-known story from technology. In 1983, Steve Jobs asked the Macintosh team to shave ten seconds off the computer's boot time, arguing that seconds multiplied by millions of users add up to whole lifetimes. In both stories, human time is what gives the number its meaning.
What the yardstick is not
- It is not a price. The market value of any asset depends on rules, supply and demand; the yardstick says nothing about that.
- It is not a promise. No one gains a minute of life, or any money, by holding BTZ.
- It is not an invitation. The idea is explained here to be understood, not to be bought.
There is also a brand detail: the project's treasury figure, 1,420,405,751.768, reproduces the digits of the hydrogen frequency in hertz. It is a symbol, with no meaning as value.
