There's an interesting perspective worth considering: what if energy is actually the foundation of all currency systems? Think about it—Bitcoin's entire value proposition hinges on the energy required to secure the network and validate transactions. The more energy invested, the stronger the security. In this context, Bitcoin becomes a reflection of real-world energy spent, giving it tangible backing that fiat currencies simply can't match. It's a compelling argument for why Bitcoin, as an energy-backed asset, might represent a more honest form of value than traditional monetary systems.

I buy into the logic behind the theory of energy, but this trap is still too idealistic in understanding energy costs. In reality, miners don't care about "honest value"; as long as it's profitable, they'll throw electricity into it. It's beautifully said to be energy support, but harshly speaking, it's just consuming the Earth to prolong the life of Bitcoin. It's a bit ironic, isn't it?

Energy-based system? This trap logic sounds good, but can the cost of electricity really support the price of BTC...

Energy is truly the hard currency; this logic is indeed brilliant and much more reliable than the dollar printing machine.

Energy coin discussion... sounds like an excuse for wasting electricity on mining.

Energy-based system? Sounds plausible, but who should pay for the electricity used in mining...
