Bitcoin is arguably the best hope for the environment, not just because of its function as a buyer of last resort supporting renewable buildout, miners' propensity to use wasted and stranded methane, and its potential to replace fiat (which has had such severe consequences for the environment on so many levels the overall harm done is probably incalculable).
Even leaving those aside, the fact that it allows us to visualise radically new ways of designing society from the ground up. For example, bitcoin enabling Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion to be profitable in international waters, where startup cities (with novel legal and political structures) can conceivably be built around. This would afford completely unexplored opportunities around environmental sustainability.
