The Ukraine crisis with the subsequent sanctions on Russian raw materials and energy forces the realization that energy is the true base layer of money, that money is energy and thus fulfills the task of the transforming primary material of civilizational formation processes. Accompanying this process of revaluing energy out of the simple consequence of political decisions and misinterpretations is the accelerating end of the pedrodollar, the formation of the BRICS+ group of nations, which in turn will in all likelihood not succumb to the temptation to value energy in its own denominator, possibly a basket of currencies.

for us bitcoiners is clear: bitcoin is energy, bitcoin is this ideal transforming basic material of all civilization! For this reason, in my opinion, all paths of the evolution of money also lead in the long run to a valuation of energy markets, and therefore all derivative goods and capital markets, in bitcoin as the most efficient and effective form of economic exchange processes. The fusion of energy production as well as energy distribution with Bitcoin as the economic base layer and the Lightning network as its natural accelerator and real-time payment system is inevitable and it can be seen everywhere where this is already technically feasible today. A truly fascinating development, if you look at examples like ''Distributed Charge or Neutronpay''.

The only question is how fast this process of transforming the energy markets, consumer goods markets and capital markets will take place, how quickly Bitcoin and its many applications and its entire ecosystem will be integrated into our complex civilizational process and thus achieve greater economic efficiency. In all likelihood, a major crisis of sovereign debt and the general over-indebtedness of the global economy will cause ever larger segments of the population to turn away from the conventional monetary system in order to look for alternatives.

bridges into the Bitcoin ecosystems already exist, more of them are emerging, and adaption is becoming increasingly customer-friendly as competition among Bitcoin service providers increases. The Bitcoin world will be able to welcome jefermann with open arms when the time comes.
