Bitcoin Junior (BTJ)

A Bitcoin-inspired, people-focused token with a fixed 21B supply, time-based fair distribution and a symbolic multi-asset treasury – designed to resist whales, governments and short-term greed.

What is Bitcoin Junior (BTJ)?

Bitcoin Junior (BTJ) is a next-generation, Bitcoin-inspired system that takes the original hard-money spirit seriously – but is tuned for today’s environment: faster innovation on higher layers, structural anti-inflation, and behavioral security against whales and heavy market manipulation.

BTJ is not here to “replace” Bitcoin. It is an independent experiment in:

  • time-based, rule-driven token distribution
  • keeping power away from a few early insiders and whales
  • using an on-chain multi-asset treasury as symbolic backing – not as a redeemable fund
Key properties
  • Fixed 21,000,000,000 BTJ hard cap
  • No VC allocation, no premine
  • Distribution stretched across decades
  • Focus on real users, not only early speculators

Distribution model – branches & blocks

BTJ is distributed through a series of 10-day “branches”. In each branch, users lock BTJ in small cooperative “blocks” – groups of 3, 6, 9, … people. A long series of 21M blocks stretches distribution across decades and makes multi-wallet abuse progressively more expensive.

Instead of a one-shot ICO/IDO, supply is released over time through these branches and blocks, with a clear rule-set that can be independently audited and simulated.

  • Phase A: early participation & social activity → small share of supply
  • Phase B: new BTJ only from branches + controlled presale per 10-day cycle
  • No “instant full unlock” event that rewards only the earliest insiders
Why this structure?
  • joins are human-sized, not whale-sized
  • time and participation matter more than pure capital
  • multi-wallet farming becomes costly as branches progress

The official BTJ dApp will show branches, blocks and rewards clearly, and will always separate available vs locked balances so users can see how and when their BTJ moves through the system.

Treasury & security

BTJ uses a multi-asset on-chain treasury funded mainly from presales. This treasury is not team money and not a redeemable “backing vault” in the stablecoin sense. It is a transparent, symbolic backing for the long-term spirit of the project.

Under normal conditions, no one can withdraw from the treasury. Any emergency dissolution path must be extremely hard to trigger and require a super-majority of the alive community (>95% of votes from active wallets).

Security expectations
  • rules over rulers – on-chain, auditable constraints
  • separation between protocol, treasury and team operations
  • long-term defense against heavy market manipulation

More detailed specifications, simulations and security analyses will be published as the protocol and distribution contracts move from design into implementation.

Roadmap (high-level)

Phase 0 – Design & modeling

Whitepaper iterations, Python modeling of branches/blocks, treasury rules and long-term supply curves.

Phase 1 – Testnet & dApp prototype

Deploy testnet contracts, launch the non-custodial dApp that shows branches, blocks and balances.

Phase 2 – Mainnet launch (early branches)

Start initial branches on mainnet with conservative parameters and a focus on transparency and audits.

Phase 3 – Ecosystem & integrations

Wallet integrations, tools, dashboards and community-led experiments on top of BTJ’s distribution layer.

Phase 4 – Governance hardening

Refine community voting, emergency rules and long-term stewardship, based on real-world behavior.

This roadmap is intentionally high-level and will evolve as the design is refined and real usage appears. There are no promises of returns – only a commitment to transparent, auditable rules.
