#数字货币市场洞察 Both Musk and Nvidia's Jensen Huang have labeled Bitcoin with the same tag—"energy currency." Behind this statement lies a rather ironic fact: the United States actually doesn't have enough electricity.

You might find this hard to believe. The US has plenty of coal, and is overflowing with oil and gas, so in theory, there shouldn’t be a power shortage.

So where's the problem? The infrastructure is outdated. Want to build a new high-voltage line? Get ready to spend ten years arguing and waiting in line. By the time the project actually breaks ground, the occupant of the White House might have changed twice.

So the core issue isn’t a lack of resources, but that the approval process can drag on forever. With so many layers of red tape, grid upgrades can never keep up with growing demand. As a result, when power-hungry industries like cryptocurrency expand in the US, electricity bottlenecks become especially glaring—making the term "energy currency" carry a hint of dark humor.
