Billionaire Bryan Johnson says Bitcoin and human health have a ‘lot in common'
Billionaire Bryan Johnson says Bitcoin and human health have a 'lot in common' originally appeared on TheStreet. Biohacker and tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson made a daring—and somewhat poetic—comparison between Bitcoin and human health. In a post on X that drew considerable attention, Johnson said, "Bitcoin, we have a lot in common…" and proceeded to break down how his personal longevity goals align with Bitcoin's principles. Using the commonly known phrases associated with crypto, Johnson wrote, "number go up, number go down," as he was alluding to Bitcoin's volatility and also his work to lower his resting heart rate before bed. He describes this trivial habit as making him happy, helping him sleep better, and even earning him more money, which means it is the "best thing for your health." He also pointed to the last Bitcoin halving, forecasted for 2140, and said that people should not miss it, implying the value of extending human life. He also said that Johnson, who is currently the front leader of the "Rejuvenation Olympics," biologically ages at a rate of 0.54—so when Johnson ages 6 months, that represents approximately 1.8 calendar years to the rest of the population. Comparing the limited supply of Bitcoin, Johnson stated, "There will only ever be 21 M. You only have one body; it's the most precious asset you own." His post also referenced another key principle of the crypto ecosystem: "don't trust, verify." In this case, Johnson emphasized the importance of objective health data, rather than trends, and advocated for a science-based perspective. By comparing biological longevity to digital scarcity, Johnson not only resonated with the crypto community but also re-framed the conversation around aging into a new, tech-based paradigm.
