# Energy as Currency - T&M



## Energy is universal, but the energy storage makes such a stake non-universal.

The conversion of energy from one type to another is not frictionless.

from PL - I’ve not followed the space-time thing and not sure I understand it.  But it seems important. We are all focused on money as a medium of exchange, but for many people money as a store of value is how they think of it (despite what the economists will tell them).⏎
- Most people I think would be happy to accept a pension provision in kWh rather than an annuity in an uncertain currency in 20 years or so.  ⏎

Perhaps one can shake up the life insurance/pension business.

## information and energy
⏎
In the digital age, [information and entropy](https://knowen.org/nodes/24431?path=1-24392-24431) comes almost in any topic (markets, artificial intelligence, physics, economics, etc.). [File storage is one of the basic well-known cryptocurrencies](https://filecoin.io/)
Yet some mechanisms are required to evaluate how valuable the information is.
⏎
Should the stake be measured by some UNIQUE information content? Just the amount of the stored information or the capacity to store do not seem to be a good idea. Human-based subjective or information theory-based (therefore objective) information capacity should be valued?
How to appreciate "unique information without opening the box"?
