The leader of TSL recently threw out a groundbreaking viewpoint — equating energy directly with currency, and Bitcoin just happens to be the best vehicle for this trap.

This statement sounds quite abstract at first, but upon careful consideration, it indeed has its merits. The mining mechanism of Bitcoin essentially converts electricity into computing power, which then competes to obtain block rewards. Throughout this process, energy consumption is a hard cost, which gives Bitcoin's value a quantifiable physical anchor. Unlike traditional currencies that rely on national credit backing, the underlying value of Bitcoin directly corresponds to the electricity costs burned in real cash.

From this perspective, the saying "energy is currency" holds some ground—after all, miners are daily backing the value of Bitcoin with their electricity costs. Of course, whether this theory can truly take off will depend on how the market digests it, but at least it provides a rather novel perspective to understand the source of cryptocurrency's value.
