The Internet of Bodies & Crypto Mining – A Hidden Connection

SUBSCRIBE -> https://forbiddennews.substack.com

The Internet of Bodies, or IoB is a growing network of smart devices embedded in, worn on, or interacting with the human body. From fitness trackers and pacemakers, nano tech to neural implants, these devices collect and transmit vast amounts of biometric data. But what if this data, your body's own energy, could be used to mine cryptocurrency?

What Is the Internet of Bodies?

The IoB connects human physiology to the digital world. These devices or nano tech monitors heart rates, brain activity, glucose levels, and stress levels. The data they generate is invaluable – not just for healthcare, but for artificial intelligence, surveillance and even... crypto mining.

The Rise of Crypto Mining & Energy Demands

Cryptocurrency mining requires enormous computing power, solving complex algorithms to validate blockchain transactions. This process consumes vast amounts of energy – raising questions about sustainability and alternative energy sources.

The Human Body as an Energy Source

What if your body could help mine crypto? Scientists and engineers are already experimenting with bio-harvesting technology – capturing excess body heat, kinetic movement, and even neural activity to power small electronics. Imagine an IoB-powered world where simply moving, thinking, or sleeping contributes to a decentralized blockchain network.

Real-World Examples of Bio-Mining

Some early-stage projects have already started integrating bio-energy into technology. Smart fabrics can captured body heat, motion-powered generators can convert footsteps into electricity, and researchers are exploring brainwave-powered interfaces. Could this be the future of crypto mining?

In 2017, a Dutch startup experimented with using body heat to mind cryptocurrency. Volunteers lay on heat-harvesting pads that generated electricity, which in turn powered mining operations. The result? Small but real earnings.

The Ethical and Privacy Dilemmas

But with great innovation comes ethical concerns. Could this technology be exploited? What happens if corporations find a way to monetize human-generated energy on a large scale? And what of privacy? What if they went further than heat and mined our own biological data?

The Future of Crypto and the Human Body

We stand on the brink of a revolution, where human existence itself becomes an economic force. Imagine a city powered by the human such as a 15-minute city. The question remains: Will this be a utopia of shared energy or a dystopia of exploitation? Experiments that torture, mutilate have shown us the answer.
