Bitcoin is more than “digital gold”. It’s a fitting comparison in some respects, but BTC has many more possible applications due to its digital nature. Saylor calls it “digital capital” on which the new financial system is being built, or “digital energy” when speaking in more of a physics/engineering frame. Major Jason Lowery of the US Space Force calls it “digital power”, or a novel power projection technology for establishing the chain of custody of scarce resources in cyberspace.

Just like how electricity channelled through a light bulb replaced the candle for lighting a home, electricity itself had a number of other significant applications.

Bitcoin and its applications are already replacing a variety of tools for moving value through time and space, and many of these applications are in their relative infancy.

Over time we will continue see more and more creative and helpful ways to use digital capital/energy/power that onboard more users to the BTC network.
