I think I understand what you're saying but I'd like to expand/posit on the issue of "free" and "wealth" being either attainable or desirable. While there may be no point in wasting resources for a job that can be done for free I wonder what the impact on our collective human energy grid can tolerate while experimenting within the time limit of our lifespan. If my labor becomes obsolete, what function do I have outside of generating heat and waste? Is that an ecosystem that the earth can sustain? What it costs in electricity and mining alone are natural limits themselves for an evolution toward a sustainable balance of "life" (as we can comprehend it).
If we destroy ourselves in order to advocate for some better, simpler, exciting technology, who's to say that the great failure won't be our own extinction but it's?

It leads me to propagandize that "wealth" is equally unsustainable as measured within our confines. What we sacrifice on this pursuit of unsustainable wealth accumulation and distribution toward what seems like superior computing advantages undoes millennia of intelligence evolution and drives chaos further between each other which incentivizes uncontrolled growth toward a state of intelligence that is (of course, arguably) not worth having. The problem has never been the resources, its been a refusal toward cohesion in lieu of gain. If I sacrifice your agenda, who's left and how can I expect that a processor can ever do better?

What bitcoin offers is a slower and more radical transformation of how we can work together and what we can develop if we use the wasted resources of our lives to generate a reliable source of value (not wealth) for our children and theirs.
