Money is a form of energy, where conservation and the laws of thermodynamics apply. I'm surprised that there isn't widespread understanding of this.

The common understanding appears to be that money is just an imaginary human-thing and that often "we would be better off without it".

Consider the case of a crypto mine being established in a remote and isolated location in the desert (or on the moon) with plenty of sunshine and solar power. As long as the mine has an internet connection, it can use the available solar energy to mine crypto and send them to anyone on earth. This physically results in the mine being able to transmit energy wirelessly across vast distances.

Almost like magic.

Sure, it's not in an electrical form and there is energy loss, but at the end of the day, the result is a very real physical capacity to do work.

I share a similar belief . I think we can have physics like discussion for money . where joule ~ money and joule / sec ~ value , i am making a distinction between money and value where money is more discrete(quantized) and value is continuous . The second secret ingredient is compute. OP(like FLOP) ~ money and OPS ~ value . putting it together we get , M = OP * E * K where OP -> total no of operations E -> energy spent K -> some constant . Dimensionally money has same SI unit as Joule , Total operation is a dimensionless variable . V = M / T {having same SI unit as Watt} value is money per unit time and Goverments / services / business should be seen as value generators the same way we describe the power of an engine as horsepower or watts . This model is completely different than market analysis of prices / value . Not to mention that majority of value traded is done outside of open markets .

This model makes the assumption that all players in the value chain (producers and consumers) are agents with repeatable instructions ie put,Get,push,add,mov,etc.

Since there is No SI unit for instructions I propose the Unit for measuring instructions be MOV operator , This is because of my belief taking inspiration from the X86 MOV operator which was proven to be turing complete with the movfuscator(https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/movfuscator). What this means IMO all computable operations can be broken down to move operations.

Lastly this system views markets as interaction between agents . And makes the assumption that agents that do not sustainably price their goods / services will fail to operate in the longrun. And views variance / volatility in prices as a outcome of chaotic interaction between agents rather True indicator of value.
