what battery ? the way these things work is there is a known production capacity for things and you can buy that capacity before the thing is produced so for example due to AI boom, manufacturing capacity for memory chips is already sold out for the entire next year you can obviously do the same for electricity because power plants like chip manufacturing plants have a known fixed capacity let's say i buy 1 terawatt hours of capacity then somebody wants to run an AI data center but i own the power - they have to then buy it from me unless they build their own power plant which will take 10 years to build this is the most real kind of money because society can exist without bitcoin, without gold, without dollars - but it can't exist without electricity

How can individuals store such a large amount of terawatt hours without the infrastructure to support it? How does a unit of dissident currency work? I mentioned batteries because industries and people want to store available energy and transmit it on demand. I can envisage a system that uses commodities such as electricity and other energy generation assets as a means of deferring consumption and paying with electricity on demand as an alternative form of settlement. However, I only see it working on closing loops, because coordinating different jurisdictions is extremely difficult.

I agree with the last part, though. Real politics involves the enforcement of real services and assets. Therefore, you only need an exchange of assets if you can settle disputes on a fundamental basis.
