Michael Saylor, the prominent Bitcoin advocate and Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, has consistently emphasized the transformative potential of Bitcoin in terms of digital energy.
Saylor explained,
“That entire wave – digital music, digital maps, digital messages that created the Apple, Amazon, and Facebooks – it didn’t include the transformation of digital energy. And the fundamental difference between digital energy and digital information… an engineer would say, ‘Satoshi figured out how to implement conservation of energy in cyberspace.’
The difference between me sending you the mp3 file and me sending you the bitcoin file is the bitcoin had a billion dollars on it. And when I sent it, I lost it.
But when I sent you the mp3 file and it had Beethoven’s 5th symphony on it, I kept it and I can send it a million more times an hour. So, information is non-conservative. Energy is conservative. Bitcoin represents conservation of Energy.”
This statement underscores Bitcoin’s distinct value proposition as digital energy, differentiating it from traditional forms of digital content.
While digital information can be duplicated endlessly without losing its value, Bitcoin transactions are unique, involving the transfer of value that cannot be replicated, akin to the physical transfer of energy.
Bitcoin is not just a financial asset but also be a groundbreaking form of digital energy that has the potential to revolutionize the global economic system.
