Thanks for sharing a really interesting interview. I hadn't thought about Bitcoin as a form of stored energy, so that was an interesting perspective. I very much agree that the future of crypto is microtransactions by agents. This just makes so much sense. It's a change in infrastructure from something written on cobalt to something a little bit more modern. Great one.
Thanks, Colin, for your comment! I was also quite intrigued by Marieke’s earlier writing on Bitcoin as a balancing mechanism for the energy grid—hence my questions and the inspiring developments she shared.
