Measuring life in Bitcoin blocks rather than traditional calendar years introduces a whole new perspective. Since a Bitcoin block is mined approximately every 10 minutes, it creates a more universal, decentralized timekeeping system detached from cultural or political influences.

For context:

- A day has **144 blocks**.

- A year has approximately **52,560 blocks**.

- Someone living 40 years would have been present for about **2.1 million blocks**.

Imagine someone saying, *"I've been here for 1.5 million blocks,"* or celebrating a milestone like *"My 1 millionth blockversary!"* It’s a poetic alignment with Bitcoin’s ethos of universal and immutable measurement, reflecting both the finite nature of our existence and the infinite possibilities of decentralized innovation.

It’s also a subtle way to tie personal life to the broader network, hinting at a future where Bitcoin’s block time might be as integral to human identity as the Gregorian calendar is today.
