"you could be the next cryptocurrency millionaire"

I don't see that as equal to "rich".

I only remember one lucid dream, when I was a kid, and it was fantastic.

I researched a little and found this book, may be you find it interesting, so here it is:

> why does bit erasure end up in energy expenditure

Following this explanation from the link:

"Theoretically, room‑temperature computer memory operating at the Landauer limit could be changed at a rate of one billion bits per second with energy being converted to heat in the memory media at the rate of only 2.85 trillionths of a watt (that is, at a rate of only 2.85 pJ/s). Modern computers use millions of times as much energy."

I understand that to flip a 1 to a 0 it is necessary to dissipate that energy into heat.

Edit: But also I'm not sure how reversibility avoids that.
