Energy-based accounting from 1930s Technocracy Inc. Non-transferable, expiring energy rations with total surveillance. Modern versions: Worldcoin, ESG scores, CBDCs (Carstens/BIS (the Bank for International Settlements): “absolute control”). The trajectory: fiat leads to crypto (transitional chaos) leads to stablecoins (dollar extension: USDC managed by BlackRock, Tether $135 billion Treasuries) leads to CBDCs (programmable state money) leads to Joulework (post-state energy currency). Bitcoin’s Joule Paradox (physics-of-energy grounding, ~$66 thousand production cost) is the one genuine escape dimension — but institutional capture (Big Three own the miners) is absorbing even that.
