Maybe we got it all wrong, maybe we should be measuring Total Energy in circulation, Potential capacity to generate energy and efficiency of transmission. Bitcoin measures it, how willing are people to use energy to generate exchangeable energy tokens? How efficient are said tokens able to be produced?
and all energy intensive Cryptocurrencies combined measure it's aggregate over a range of measurements within the Energy Chain, if you can get people interested in the completion of an activity using energy, you are measuring it's energy allocation within the available energy supply.
