Art

For a long time, the only thing you could do with excess energy is burn it or store it in battery form, where the energy degrades and loses value.

But recently there is another option. Energy can be used to mine cryptocurrency, transferring the value of the energy into a different form, to be stored and used without degrading.

Humans have understood this idea for a long time, excess human energy and cognition can be stored (fat) which is not always beneficial, and it can be burned up (play).

Human effort and consciousness can also be transformed to be stored without degrading, the energy transferring form into art. Storing value through communication, emotion, and abstract thought.
