The Bitcoin mining ecosystem creates an open bounty for all unpriced global energy.
As the Joule Paradox states: energy sets the value for Bitcoin and Bitcoin sets the value of energy.
Therefore, Bitcoin sets the marginal price floor for this energy. It's the ultimate energy sink—if no one else buys, Bitcoin miners do. They serve as a buyer of last resort for surplus energy.
This now incentivizes economic actors around the world to produce energy more efficiently.
In macro terms, Bitcoin behaves like a mathematical constant—like π or the golden ratio—for global price signals. A self-regulating thermodynamic monetary standard for the energy grid.
A macroeconomic thermostat or feedback loop for pure price discovery and energy distribution.
This is all possible only because Bitcoin is the first technology that directly transforms energy into a unit of account.
Because SHA-256 proof-of-work crystallizes expended energy into incorruptible, immutable information.
The blockchain economy coordinates all human activity to self-organize around the one thing that can’t be faked, the currency of the universe itself: energy.
So practically, pragmatically, logistically, and economically, Bitcoin doesn't waste energy—it discovers it.
