It is not a battery if you cannot get electricity out when needed. It's a weird analogy for something that does not store energy in any form

Since a bitcoin is a monetary form of energy, and since the bitcoin network is so readily available, we could build layers on top of the network to enable quicker conversion of monetary energy to electrical energy.

You're right. This is why I love dry underwear. You can readily stack them and put up a sewing machine on top of it after which you can make more dry underwear. It's basically free

Literal energy isn't the same thing as capital.
