I wouldnt see Trade Value as a currency. As it is now, it represents some kind of private wealth or sector which can be steered to the direction i need. How does this translates into pure energy? I have no clue, consumer goods and alloys make a little sense (and later naval capacity and others as mentioned by Grekulf as an idea), because the private sector may also be able to produce it, but stil create resources out of thin air. And lets not forget: The game also generates deposits with trade value in space, whats this? For me this could be shiny minerals or other stuff, useless for the military, but from high value for pops.
I say it represents the ability of my economy to produce or service things from value. If you go far back in human history, where different tribes and early empires traded, it was mostly for goods they have no knowledge to produce or resources they dont have.
Its a very abstract system right now and i always have the feeling that it never got the full polish the devs had in mind when they introduced it with Megacorp.
