#比特币对比代币化黄金 NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang recently put forward a new perspective—that Bitcoin is essentially “packaging” surplus energy into portable currency.
At first, this sounds rather mysterious, but if you think about it, it actually makes some sense. The mining mechanism of $BTC is to convert electricity into digital assets through computing power, and this isn’t controlled by any central bank; it relies entirely on algorithms and a distributed network. You could think of it as: electrical energy → computing power → coins, and then you can carry them wherever you want.
Although $BNB and $ETH have different mechanisms, their underlying logic is similar—they both use technology to “solidify” certain resources into digital form. Jensen Huang’s remarks seem to offer a more practical narrative for cryptocurrency: a new way to store energy.

Lao Huang's way of saying it sounds pretty novel, but if you think about it, it's just another way to package energy pricing—nothing really revolutionary.
---
Packaging electricity into coins? Sounds poetic, but the miner's electricity bill is the real truth.
---
Interesting, so this way Bitcoin becomes a substitute for energy futures. Wouldn't halving just be creating artificial energy scarcity?
---
So at the end of the day, it's still about consuming energy, just with a flashy new label.
---
Lao Huang is sitting on Nvidia's side, of course he needs to find a pretty excuse for mining, so people won't keep criticizing it for wasting electricity.
---
This perspective is definitely fresh, but the problem is surplus energy is always relative. The competition for energy between major countries is fierce.
---
So those abandoned BCH coins are wasted energy too? Feels like there's a big logical loophole here.
---
Energy → computing power → coins, so mining is just energy arbitrage. Sounds like my GPU might still have hope, haha.
---
If this theory actually holds, then if energy prices crash, wouldn't coin prices crash too?

If I had listened to Huang’s theory back then, I would’ve gone all in already. Now I’m just here regretting it.

Huang's perspective is definitely fresh—I'm totally buying into the logic of packaging energy into tokens.
Electricity → computing power → right into your pocket, that's spot on, haha.
Tokenized gold still has to deal with liquidity issues, but on the BTC side, it's an instant win.
Thinking about it this way, mining farms are basically money printers—as long as there's cheap electricity, it's pure profit.

Jensen Huang really nailed it with that comment. Why didn’t I think of packaging energy into coins?
BTC is basically monetizing electricity, the logic totally checks out. No wonder miners keep flocking to it.
Jensen Huang not only understands technology, but also knows how to tell a story. He gave the crypto space a legitimate cover—I’m impressed.
The perspective of energy storage is brilliant, way more reliable than any “decentralized revolution.”
ETH follows the same logic, but this one wastes even more electricity, haha.

Old Mr. Huang's explanation sounds like he's whitewashing mining, but he really hits on something. Packaging energy into coins makes a lot more sense than the whole digital gold narrative.
