Has anyone watched this movie and not thought of Grin?

Time as money, at the decrement of a second. Been a while since I’ve watched this one, twas before Grin. Worth watching again from a new perspective. Had some interesting concepts where people stopped aging at 25, could live indefinitely as long as they didn’t run out of time/money, and wore your account balance on your forearm. Geez, maybe we should rename+rebrand GRIN into TIME.

It was so long ago that I watched that movie that I did not yet associate it to Grin.
Who knows, maybe in 50 years or so we can have a bio implants with our Grin wallet in our arm that we can press to show us how much “Grin time” we hold :winking_face_with_tongue:

For now, how about a wallet setting to change from showing grin as plain number to showing grin balance as “Grin time” year:days:hours:minutes:seconds". Or how about a smartwatch connected to the wallet on your phone, that can show your “Grin time” balance. That would be fun.
Now back to reality and fixing some bugs in grin-wallet, first basics, then cool gadgets and cool display options.

I hope my time doesn’t run out before I watch the movie:)

I’m not for rebranding Grin, but I do think presenting the balance in time is a unique and fun concept. I’d rather collect and trade units of time than something with an arbitrary speed and acceleration:)

Never heard of this film before but I watched it last night and found it very fun! Its writing was a bit stiff, but the concept was unique and execution well delivered. Plus, who doesn’t love heists? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

While I’m not a fan of the Harry Potter aspects of Grin’s branding, I think the Grin name has escaped it to a degree and has also established itself among crypto OGs to an extent that it shouldn’t be changed.

That said, the time perspective is an enormous strength that should be leaned into. Afterall, as the adage goes: time is money! :grin:

I saw this movie before I knew grin coin, the movie is very imaginative about money. I have a deep memory of the movie setting.
Time is money,Bitcoin is money, so Bitcoin is time.but not grin.Money can buy other people’s services and goods, and other people’s goods and services condense time.So money really is time.
one second one grin,grin Coin only like time in terms of characteristics, but bitcoin like time in value and essence. in order to become time, grin coin must become real money and in order to become money, grin coin needs to be adopted and used by more people.
grin will be time,The only question is how to be adopted on a large scale?How to Win the Cryptocurrency Competition?
Time is money,this is a addge of Shenzhen city in China mainland, but there is the next sentence, efficiency is life.
by the way,Neo-Geo`s TIME logo concept is good,but I’m not for rebranding Grin,

我在接触grin前看过这电影,电影对货币很有想象力。I have a deep memory of the movie setting
时间就是金钱,但比特币是金钱,所以比特币就是时间。
古灵币仅仅比比特币在特征上更像时间,但要成为时间,那就要先成为金钱,要成为金钱就要被更多人采纳和使用。
时间就是金钱,中国深圳市区的名言,但还有下一句,效率就是生命。
