In physics, words carry precise meanings. Using the way energy is defined in physics, this analogy is pure garbage. As someone with technical training, he knows that. Yet he uses it.

He is a salesman, with a pretty bad track record at that. Check how badly he performed in the dotcom bubble. But he has huge bags betting other people's money on Bitcoin's ngu belief. So, he will do anything he can to pump those bags. He knows the cult tendencies of the BTC crowd, and he knows how to talk to them, like a sleezy guru.

If he truly cared about Bitcoin, he'd actually contribute to its utility. E.g. he could have put some of his Bitcoin to use in the LN for a long time, yet he still hasn't, even though he mentioned it to please his simps.

In short, this quote tells you about what kind of person he is and his true intentions, thus triggering people who are actually putting in the work to make BTC useful and advancing it as a store of value and a medium of exchange.
