## Quote — verbatim

> One way to look at Bitcoin is a global energy load balancer... when you have excess energy you can use that energy to mine bitcoin, and when you want energy you can use that bitcoin to get more energy. Same concept extending to AI: when you have excess energy, you trade using AI.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Extends the energy-abstraction idea; he names Daylight Energy as an energy-decentralization play that could run Akash on top "to create a more distributable grid."
