The richest person in the world, Elon Musk, stated that energy is a real currency. Bitcoin (BTC) has that basis, which he claims can be considered a currency.
"Currency, if you will, that is based on physics. So energy is a real and actually existing currency. This is why I say Bitcoin is based on energy," he said, citing a podcast by Nikhil Khamat on YouTube.
Elon added that an energy source and/or power plant is a currency de facto.
It should be noted that to obtain Bitcoin (BTC), one way is to mine it. This requires a significant amount of electricity to run the mining equipment.
