Musk recently dropped his take on Bitcoin's true nature: it's fundamentally a currency anchored in energy. His reasoning? Simple yet profound—"You can't legislate energy." That perspective reframes BTC not just as digital money, but as a representation of something governments can't arbitrarily control.

energy-backed currency thesis is lowkey the philosopher's stone we've all been searching for... governments can't legislate thermodynamics, only fools think they can

The theory of energy is indeed powerful, but is this guy right... If the government can't legislate energy, then wouldn't they just directly cut off the electricity to the Mining Farm?

Energy anchoring theory? Sounds nice, but can it really withstand the central banks of various countries?

The energy-based system... This perspective is indeed fresh. From a technical standpoint, the intrinsic relationship between the PoW mechanism and energy costs deserves a deeper analysis.

The energy theory is indeed remarkable, as the government's inability to manage the logic of energy itself strikes at the heart of the issue.
