# 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.


- 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"?
