Last September, Jensen Huang, the five-trillion-yuan NVIDIA boss, shared his understanding of Bitcoin at a public event.

His perspective was quite interesting—as an engineer, he sees Bitcoin as an "energy bank": surplus electricity around the world, such as hydropower or wind power in remote areas that can't be used immediately, is directly converted into a string of digital codes through the mining process.

And this string of code can be stored permanently and retrieved for transactions whenever needed.

In other words, Bitcoin is essentially doing one thing—it uses computing power to "freeze" energy that would otherwise be wasted into a form of asset that can circulate globally. This way of thinking is definitely very engineer-like.
