BurritoCoin

BRTO

The world's most delicious cryptocurrency. Decentralized, flavor-packed, and statistically indistinguishable from throwing your money into a trash fire.

What is this, exactly

The Currency of Champions (of Eating Burritos)

BurritoCoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency built on the principle that money should be as portable as a properly wrapped burrito and as transparent as a glass taqueria. Forked from Litecoin, it inherits a proven codebase and adds MimbleWimble Extension Blocks (MWEB) for optional privacy โ€” because sometimes you don't want the whole neighborhood knowing how many burritos you bought.

There is no company behind BurritoCoin. No CEO. No marketing budget. No Discord with admins promising "massive partnerships." There is only the blockchain, the burrito, and the void.

๐ŸŒฏ

Fully Decentralized

No central authority. No board meetings. No one to blame when things go sideways. Just you, the nodes, and the open source code.

๐Ÿ”’

Optional Privacy (MWEB)

MimbleWimble Extension Blocks let you transact privately on-chain. Because your burrito consumption history is nobody's business.

โ›๏ธ

Scrypt Proof of Work

Minable with consumer hardware. Each block takes ~2.5 minutes and rewards 10 BRTO, which is worth approximately 10 BRTO.

๐Ÿด

Fork of Litecoin

Built on battle-tested code. If it's good enough for the silver to Bitcoin's gold, it's good enough for the burrito to Litecoin's taco.

Price & Value

What Is BurritoCoin Actually Worth?

Great question. We're glad you asked. Here is our honest, unhedged, legally-non-binding assessment of BurritoCoin's current market value:

$0.00 USD per BRTO

Correction: approximately $0.00. We haven't checked any exchange because it isn't on any exchange. It may never be on any exchange. The closest thing to a price discovery mechanism is you and a friend agreeing that one burrito is worth 10 BRTO, which honestly seems fair.

Financially speaking, you would achieve a better return on investment by buying an actual burrito. That burrito will appreciate โ€” in flavor, in your stomach, in memory. BRTO will appreciate in neither flavor nor dollars, but it will exist on a blockchain forever, which is arguably more than most things can claim.

There are no venture capitalists. No pre-sale rounds. No whitepaper promising 10,000x returns. This is a coin. It goes on a chain. The chain keeps going. That's the whole pitch.

* Nothing on this website constitutes financial advice. Buying BRTO does not constitute an investment. Mining BRTO probably costs more in electricity than the BRTO is worth. This is fine.


Frequently Asked Questions

Things People Have Theoretically Asked

Can I mine it?

Yes. It uses Scrypt proof-of-work, which means standard CPU and GPU mining software works. The reward is 10 BRTO per block. Whether "works" and "worth it" overlap is a philosophical question we leave to you.

Where can I buy it?

Nowhere, currently. You can mine it, or find someone willing to trade you some for goods or services, ideally denominated in burritos.

Is BurritoCoin pegged to the price of any burritos?

BurritoCoin is aware of the risks of pegging and chooses not to engage.

Is my BRTO safe?

Your private keys are yours. The codebase is open source. MWEB gives you optional on-chain privacy. The network is as secure as its miners keep it. Whether you should store value in BRTO is a question we cannot answer with a straight face, but technically: yes, your wallet is your wallet.

Why 21 billion instead of 21 million?

So everyone can be a billionaire. BRTO is generous like that.
