Every month, your employer transfers Bitcoins into a time-locked address that can't be transferred out before you reach retirement age.  You have the key to the address.  You can verify the transfer on the blockchain.

No middle-men.  No funny business.  No brokers with pyramid/eyeball shaped logos.  No "oops we went bankrupt and lost your retirement."  No bail-ins.  No raising the age of retirement.

Just Bitcoin.


Nice idea but you are kinda missing the whole point of "retirement", 

which is, a word you use to get idiots to give up their valuables today on promises of getting valuables back far into the future. 






I think most people can retire, but its not the lifestyle they would want which stops them from real retirement.

Like getting a bigger house or a ideal car.

If you take out these things, most people can buy a $30k home in las vegas or something and start being smart money.
