How can the volatility of monetary assets be lowered without central coordination? Transaction links can be broken by coinjoining, and heuristic analysis can be broken by different transaction constructions.

Why would you back a currency with such a volatile asset as electricity stored in a battery?

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.

the closing loops thing is key though. i wonder if you'd need multiple regional currencies running parallel instead of one global system?

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.

i don't know how to explain it any better than i already did energy isn't stored - it is pledged instead of buying a charged battery you buy a contract from the energy producer such as a nuclear power plant that makes you entitled to certain percentage of the plant's output for a given time to issue dissident coin you don't "mine" it but rather you deposit your energy contract and then you can issue the equivalent amount of dissident coins thus the supply of coins is proportional to the amount of energy available and 1 coin is always worth 1 kwh so you know if you wan to bake some hash brownies in an electric wall oven it will always cost you about 1 dissident coin to make in terms of electricity used - this won't change even in a thousand years. energy is the most fundamental asset. a class of civilization is determined by the scale of its use of energy. you know horses were also used as currency in the past and you can think of a horse as a unit of energy.

you would need some kind of framework to prevent cheating yes. but even if it was severely flawed it would still be better than bitcoin today. because cheating would mean that some of the coins issued were not backed by a real asset. whereas today NONE are.
