Isn't Bitcoin a combination of processing hardware and electricity?

Time, in the human sense, seems somewhat irrelevant because humans can't/don't hash manually.

Thank you for sharing this! I wrote a much shorter article on why I believe Grin is the closest to "time is money" here https://phyro.github.io/what-is-grin/grin_emission.html

Bitcoin can be thought of as a clock, but the unit that is being transfered can't be thought as time because for it to be mappable to time, you need a linear function and Bitcoin's emission is exponential because of the halvings.
