AmericanEnergy Money

The world’s reserve currency of the future is Energy Money.

The mechanism

Scientific Money

Three independent lines of work — the physics of computation, the economics of proof of work, and the mathematics of inference — converge on the same conclusion.

* Where Shannon entropy is minimized, and where statistical mechanics equals statistical inference under the Maximum Entropy Principle. See Shannon (1948) and Jaynes (1957).

Theoretical Brief

What proof of work is actually doing, in one image: a uniform distribution over hash space, and the constraint that carves information out of it.

SHA-256 outputs are uniform and equiprobable across a 2256 state space. Counting consecutive leading zeros imposes a constraint on that space — and each zero is a bit of uncertainty removed.

Energy is the asset. These are the ways
to own it, price it, and study it.
