Throughout human history, defending wealth—whether land, gold, or resources—has always required physical kinetic power: walls, weapons, armies, and human lives.
Defending property has always cost blood.

Complaining that Bitcoin “uses energy” is like complaining that a hospital uses electricity to keep a patient alive.
It’s the cost of security—but for the first time in history, achieved in a peaceful and universally accessible way.
