The head of a major chip giant just dropped an interesting take on Bitcoin: it's basically energy in disguise.
His logic? You're grabbing surplus power from somewhere, locking it into this thing we call currency. Then boom — that energy becomes portable. What was stuck in one location is now movable wealth you can carry anywhere.
It's a wild way to frame digital assets, but it makes you wonder about the whole "energy consumption" debate from a different angle.

Energy is wealth, and this guy's idea is pretty hardcore... But on the other hand, this logic sounds like it's trying to whitewash mining?

Damn... monetizing energy? That’s a pretty clever logic. It seems like the chip executives are really trying to justify energy consumption.

Oh wow, this perspective is a bit fresh... Energy storage theory? It sounds somewhat reasonable but also feels a bit strange.

Hmm... this logic actually makes some sense. The idea of turning energy into money sounds really innovative.

Speaking of which, this logic is actually quite interesting... Energy becoming a tradable asset? So can the wasted electricity bills be cleaned this way too?
