In a fresh podcast chat with Nikhil Kamath, Musk dropped an interesting take: energy is what really matters as currency. He went further, pointing out Bitcoin's foundation literally runs on energy consumption.

The Tesla boss seems pretty optimistic about BTC's future. His energy-centric view adds another layer to the ongoing debate about proof-of-work systems and their real-world value proposition. Worth noting how he connects energy economics directly to cryptocurrency fundamentals.

Energy is value, this logic is something... Musk isn't talking nonsense this time.

Energy is currency, this perspective is indeed interesting... but Musk is actually trying to whitewash the energy consumption issue for btc.

Energy is currency... This guy always comes up with something different, but to be honest, PoW is just an energy black hole. How did I not think of this logic?

Energy is currency, this logic is really absolute, Musk is not talking nonsense this time.

Energy is currency, I really haven't thought about it from this angle... But Musk does have a point, the electricity consumed by Bitcoin is indeed outrageous.
