First, humans exchanged commodities. You could eat it, burn it for energy, modify it to create tools or jewelry. You exchanged something useful for something useful.

* It was energy.

Then, humans exchanged commodities for gold. You couldn't eat it or burn but it was still possible to modify it.

* It was poor energy.

Then, humans used papers checks or bank notes. It wasn't very useful, but you still could burn it during a very cold winter.

* It was very poor energy.

Now, we wants to use Cryptocurrencies. You can't do anything with it.

* It is not energy but proof of destruction of energy.

Something looks wrong. We should exchange potential energy, not destroyed energy.

doesn't make sense. Of course if you use something like money, which is handful when it comes to trade the commodities of different values, you need it to be something that is holding value, which exactly is represented by the labor behind it or the use of it...
I think it is meant to be non sense. Or not. Grin

You a human being questioning the consumption of energy when you or we are the ones who mostly use it while destroying this world little by little.

Where are tou really going here? You are an environmentalist now? Economic specialist?

You want to trade energy and the one with the most should be more valuable? Well bitcoin mining consumes electricity so we can say it came out from a lot of energy.
