    30 per bond you break. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and ATP generation involves breaking down many chemical bonds. It out scales all other options in a matter of seconds.

    Technical question - would “every bond you break” include atomic bonds from food being broken down?

    Typical breathing rate is 12-20 per minute or 4-$7k per day and you get that even if you sleep all day. So as long as I don’t need to individually count and bill for each breath I’ll go for that.

      If you digest carbohydrates, you wont believe how many bonds you break with every step you take and every move you make.

    It might not be the most lucrative, but I’d go with steps because it would incentivise healthy behavior

    Actually according to my pedometer I’ve taken 8.7k steps today, and most of that is from running a 5k. That would definitely get me off the couch.

    Breath would be $5000/day and it takes no thought or effort so…that one

    I breathe about 15 breaths a minute on average, which would be about $4.25 a minute for the rest of my life.

    I’d make $275 an hour 24 hours a day, which would be over a million dollars a year. I think I could live with that

    Does movement count autonomic impulses, such as heartbeats, peristalsis, lung movement, vasodilation/contraction, micromuscular firings, and so on? If so, there’s a pretty big advantage to taking those nickels.

    If we’re counting the movement of neurotransmitters in the nervous system, you’ll break the world bank with that.

    1 dollar for every step I take would encourage me to be more active and gain wealth at the same time.
