•	Energy Conservation: In physics, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. Bitcoin, with its fixed supply of 21 million coins, mirrors this principle. The protocol is immutable, and the supply is finite. This scarcity and resistance to inflation make Bitcoin a reliable store of value, similar to how energy is preserved in physical systems.
•	Energy Transformation: Bitcoin mining transforms electrical energy into monetary energy. Miners convert electricity into cryptographic security through the proof-of-work mechanism, which underpins the security of the Bitcoin network. In Saylor’s view, this transformation of energy into an immutable, decentralized financial system gives Bitcoin its intrinsic value.

•	Storage of Energy: Just as a battery stores energy, Bitcoin stores financial or economic energy. It allows individuals and institutions to preserve the value they have accumulated in the form of a digital asset. By holding Bitcoin, one is effectively storing the energy of their labor or capital, free from the debasement of inflation or manipulation by governments.
•	Transfer of Energy: Bitcoin allows for the transfer of this energy across space and time. It is borderless and can be sent anywhere in the world at a low cost and without intermediaries. This makes it more efficient compared to traditional financial systems, which rely on slow and costly intermediaries to transfer wealth (or energy, in Saylor’s analogy).

•	Perfect Energy Conservation: Bitcoin’s fixed supply cap ensures that there is no leakage of monetary energy over time (i.e., no inflation or dilution of value). Fiat currencies, on the other hand, are inefficient because they leak value through inflation, monetary expansion, or government control.
•	Energy Conversion Efficiency: In Bitcoin, the energy expended through mining is converted into a secure and decentralized ledger of ownership. The high level of computational work that miners perform ensures that the network is secure from attacks and manipulations. Thus, Bitcoin can be seen as the most efficient system for converting energy into an immutable store of value.

•	Fight Against Entropy: Saylor argues that Bitcoin represents a way to counteract the entropy that affects traditional financial systems. Fiat currencies, due to inflation and political manipulation, tend to lose their value and become chaotic over time. Bitcoin’s decentralized and mathematically predictable nature resists this disorder, providing a stable and orderly way to store value.
•	Thermodynamic Stability: Bitcoin’s decentralized proof-of-work system ensures that it remains stable and secure over time. The energy used in mining makes it prohibitively expensive to attack or change the Bitcoin ledger, contributing to its long-term stability and resistance to entropy.

•	Protecting Value from Degradation: Traditional stores of value (like fiat currencies or even gold) can degrade over time due to inflation, confiscation, or debasement. Bitcoin’s structure prevents this degradation. It is, in Saylor’s view, the ultimate asset for preserving energy (wealth) across generations without the risk of devaluation.
•	Digital Thermodynamics: Bitcoin encapsulates the principles of thermodynamics in the digital realm by creating a secure, scarce, and incorruptible form of money. Just as physical systems can convert energy without loss under ideal conditions, Bitcoin allows for value to be stored and transferred without loss (inflation or interference).

•	Fire: Saylor likens Bitcoin to the discovery of fire, which allowed humans to harness energy and transform their environment. Similarly, Bitcoin allows humans to harness economic energy in a revolutionary way, preserving and transmitting value over time and space without the need for intermediaries.
•	The Wheel: He also compares Bitcoin to the wheel, a simple yet transformative invention that greatly increased the efficiency of human movement. Bitcoin, in this analogy, is a breakthrough that maximizes the efficiency of storing and transferring value.

•	It transforms energy into a secure, immutable store of value.
•	It resists inflation, seizure, and entropy, offering a stable store of wealth over time.
•	Bitcoin mining converts electrical energy into cryptographic security, securing the network and making Bitcoin a form of “digital energy.”
•	It acts as a tool for efficiently storing and transferring value, much like how physical systems conserve energy.
