Wait it’s a battery

This explains why my block clock isn't updating...

Economic energy battery.

Time and energy in extracted form. Not electrical energy, can't power your laptop. But hold up enough sats and those plebs will turn a turbine.

That said, all bitcoin analogies suck because it is unlike anything we've ever known.

Bitcoin is only like a battery the same way money is like a battery. The same way bitcoin is like many things, but it isn't. Because it's better at all of them.
