Energy is the true currency. Think about it—every transaction, every computation, every creation ultimately traces back to energy consumption. In the context of blockchain and crypto markets, this becomes even more apparent. Mining, transaction validation, smart contracts—they all demand real energy expenditure. Unlike fiat currencies backed by government decree, energy represents tangible, measurable value. It can't be printed infinitely or manipulated through monetary policy. The future of finance might not just be digital; it'll be grounded in the physical reality of energy itself.
