 My dad just sent me this incredible patent for a "human-powered cryptocurrency": 

https://ia803409.us.archive.org/26/items/brevet-wo-2020060606-a-1-cryptocurrency-system-using-body-activity-data/%5BBrevet%5D%20WO%202020060606%20A1%20-%20Cryptocurrency%20System%20Using%20Body%20Activity%20Data_text.pdf

From the document:

> Instead of massive computation work required by some conventional cryptocurrency systems, data generated based on the body activity of the user can be a proof-of-work, and therefore, a user can solve the computationally difficult problem unconsciously. 

This patent has some interesting things going for it:

- It's patent number 060606 (or, 666)
- Granted March 26th, 2020
- To Microsoft

 yeah i remember this one... creepy 
 How did they even get patent #060606 
 no way that isn't intentional  
 it's bragging by the minions of satan, obviously 
 lmao...
Ok Microsoft... how exactly does one unforgeably prove their body has moved? 
 graphene nanoparticles of course 
 😂 
 Don't you love the part where it says it can use your thoughts/brainwaves? 
 Soooo... literally The Matrix? 
 Oh rats it's the end of days 
 Is my body the wallet too? Can they airdrop right into my brain? 

Where do I sign (in blood)?
