In essence, currency ultimately boils down to a measure of energy. The more you strip away the complexity, the clearer this becomes—money is fundamentally wattage, a quantifiable unit of power. This perspective reshapes how we think about value in any monetary system.

Energy equals value. This statement sounds philosophical, but it might also be a bit of an oversimplification.

Energy-based currency? That logic is a bit extreme... So, excessive issuance of fiat currency is just wasting electricity?

That's a bit abstract. The theory that money is energy is something I've heard too many times, but the real energy conservation still relies on PoW, right?

The essence of Bitcoin mining is just this: directly converting electricity into value, with no unnecessary steps in between.

The theory of energy sounds good, but it gets interesting when applied to the blockchain—liquidity is essentially energy too. Choosing surf points is just about finding the optimal moment for energy release...
