AMP → Bitcoin
Energy is potential — the capacity to produce computation, security, and truth.
Enter an electricity amount to see what it can do.
Household use, facility consumption, or any energy amount.
Bitcoin
This energy, directed at mining, would statistically produce:
Computation
The same energy could power this much machine intelligence:
Syntropy Syntropy measures energy's potential to produce computation, verification, and structured knowledge — indexed to a reference household-month (250 kWh = 100).
Syntropy — the opposite of entropy — measures how much of your energy is directed towards activities that increase order and understanding: network security, computation, and reasoning.

How this works
- Uses current Bitcoin network difficulty and hashrate.
- Assumes global mining efficiency of 27 J/TH.
- Fiat uses 200-day moving average BTC price.
- AI estimate assumes ~1 Wh per inference.
- GPU hours reference an H100 SXM at 700 W (PUE 1.2).
- Syntropy Index: 250 kWh = 100 (reference household-month).
- Network data updated daily at 00:10 UTC.
- Nothing is stored. Your inputs stay in your browser.
Why compare energy this way?
We're often told about the electricity consumption of global systems like Bitcoin or AI in abstract comparisons — "the network uses more electricity than Denmark," for example. These statements highlight scale, but they rarely help us understand what that energy is doing.
Bitcoin and AI are not abstract entities. They are physical systems powered by electricity. Like all infrastructure, they consume energy in exchange for something: monetary security, computation, coordination.
Instead of comparing nations to networks, this tool turns the perspective around. It translates your own electricity usage into comparable outputs within those systems.
Seeing personal-scale energy in relation to global digital infrastructure helps make that infrastructure more tangible. It reframes energy as allocation — choices about how electricity is converted into value, computation, and order.
Energy underpins everything. Understanding how human-scale usage connects to global-scale systems makes those systems easier to reason about.
Who is this for?
Homeowners and renters — You pay an electricity bill every month but rarely think about what that energy could do beyond keeping the lights on. Enter your usage and see it translated into computational output: how many sats it could mine, how many AI queries it could power, and what share of a global network it represents.
Bitcoin-curious individuals — If you want to understand the relationship between energy and Bitcoin at a personal scale, this tool makes it tangible. Instead of abstract hashrate numbers, you see what your own electricity would statistically produce in sats and fiat, grounded in current network conditions.
Journalists and educators — Energy stories are often told in comparisons that obscure more than they reveal ("Bitcoin uses more electricity than Argentina"). This tool provides a different framing device: human-scale energy translated into system-scale outputs. Useful for articles, presentations, and classroom discussions about energy, computation, and digital infrastructure.
Policy and sustainability thinkers — The syntropy metric offers a way to think about energy not just as consumption or cost, but as productive capacity. How much of our energy is directed towards activities that increase order and understanding? This reframing can inform conversations about energy allocation, computational infrastructure, and societal priorities.
