Through face recognition technology, each person can only generate one node, a private key, and a public key.
By setting an upper limit on the computing power of each miner, it is possible to mine on a mobile phone without consuming too much computing power.
If we are interested, we can design such blockchain technology to run on mobile phones together.

I can find your face by just looking up your social media account, mean while can you discover the scalar that leads to these coordinates when multiplied by the secp256k1 curve Generator? :

x: 83260022149314607220299798889850163602723925708954433956645823190147746092229
y: 32501403673747823353314855720543420818188361784787882868346931239726724853713

If not I believe bitcoin is much more sound than your facial recognition scheme, do you want someone trying to cut your face off to access your funds? Is that better than protecting against data breaches really?
Stealing my facial images or videos cannot be obtained through face recognition, just as you cannot use photos or videos to recognize faces on your phone. A face can generate a corresponding string of codes, but this code cannot infer what a person looks like.

Not to mention that a government authority would then have the REASON to strap you down to a chair, peel your eyes open, and make you stand still while they scan your face to extract blockchain data. This is a terrifying idea.
The government has tied me to a chair and left me standing with my eyes open, unable to scan my face and extract my blockchain data. What is the difference between tying my body directly and asking me for my bank card password? If this is a security risk, then you know that your bank card password also has the same problem.
