Recently, Trump on social media @Microsoft, urging them not to raise public electricity bills when building new data centers. It seems like a call for people's livelihood, but in fact, it hits a sore point—the energy gap in the AI arms race is too large. Chips are important, but electricity is even more crucial; both have become strategic resources.

This actually reflects a common global challenge: technological rapid advancement always comes at a cost. The real-world power grid is under pressure, but in the virtual world, another revolution has already begun. This revolution isn't about electricity costs but about how to make capital flow efficiently and with low loss, like a smart grid.

Protocols like Lista DAO are trying to solve this problem. Recently, they did something interesting—bringing traditional financial assets like US Treasury bonds onto the blockchain. You can think of it as building a bridge that allows digital currencies to exchange for stable returns cheaply. It’s like opening a "safe harbor" backed by government bonds amid the chaos of the crypto world, providing a place for funds seeking steady income.

Even more clever is their lending mechanism. Users can collateralize their crypto assets to borrow other assets at ultra-low costs and then participate in high-yield activities. This operation is like designing a "capital circulation system"—making money flow continuously and generate value. It doesn’t consume electricity but pushes the efficiency of capital as a production factor to the limit.

From another perspective: Trump is warning big companies not to waste electricity recklessly, while Lista DAO is redefining how capital is "generated" and "distributed" in the digital world. One is a national-level physical infrastructure competition, the other a competition for survival efficiency among individuals and institutions in the digital economy.

Looking ahead, a two-way drive has already taken shape: on top, nations need to build strong, affordable energy networks to feed computing power; below, individuals and institutions must learn to use DeFi "financial routers" to make limited capital smartly appreciate in the network. Two parallel lines, one physical and one digital, ultimately converge.
