Don't remind me again today

Elon Musk dropped an interesting take recently: energy is what truly backs value. That's his whole point about Bitcoin - it's fundamentally tied to energy consumption and proof-of-work. His argument? Governments can pass all the laws they want, but they can't regulate or create energy out of thin air. It's a physical constraint that gives BTC its scarcity anchor.

The theory of energy seems to be a way to justify POW, but upon closer inspection, it seems somewhat reasonable? However, is it true that the government really can't manage energy? This premise is quite questionable.

The theory of energy sounds mysterious, but what about the cost of GPU mining?

The energy theory is back again, every time a pro speaks, everyone has to follow the trend... Well, anyway, electricity prices are rising and BTC is also rising, the logic of playing people for suckers is indeed consistent.

Energy is value, and I have pondered this logic for half a day... In essence, it is talking about the physical determinism of PoW. Regulatory pressure cannot suppress energy costs; this is the real hard constraint. Much better than the misleading on-chain data.
