On December 31, Musk stated, 'Energy is the real currency,' which is not just a casual remark but a declaration about the future financial order. While global central banks are still frantically printing money, he has already turned his attention to the truly non-falsifiable value—electricity.
Bitcoin is criticized for being a 'waste of energy,' but precisely this 'waste' has made it the gold of the digital age. Behind every BTC is real kilowatt-hours, the relentless cooling fans of mining farms working day and night, and the actual pressure of the grid's load. This mechanism of minting currency with energy is, in fact, more honest, scarcer, and more resistant to inflation than a banknote backed by government credit.
More importantly, on the eve of AI and automation sweeping the world, human labor will no longer be the core measure of value. In the future, whoever controls energy will control productivity; and whoever can convert energy into tradable, verifiable, globally circulating digital assets will hold the key to the new world. Bitcoin is, indeed, the most mature vehicle on this path.
Being bullish on Bitcoin is not about betting on it rising to $1 million, but about believing that when the world returns to the essence of value, the trust forged by energy will ultimately surpass the illusions created by the money printing machine. This bull market has just begun.
