summary

Argues Bitcoin is proof of past energy (coins come from coinbase work) while fiat is pledge money created by bank loan entries that promise future energy; shows banks create and destroy money via ledger writes. Claims miners monetize energy surpluses including flared gas and cheap renewables, and locates mining where surplus makes it profitable. Compares estimated banking-sector consumption of 900 TWh and ~45 million bank jobs to Bitcoin’s lower load, concluding PoW secures value while addressing environmental critiques.
