Probably I talk fantasy but I the whole calculation/computing that Bitcoin makes is meaningless. Don't get me wrong - it's still a good value storage but instead of computing bytes to be in a certain shape, you could compute something more meaningful like: - Reasoning power, token computation. - Genome computation to make early illness detection. - New meds discovery via simulation computing. - Other weird ideas to make our life easier.

This point was brought up by roughly 50,000 pre-bitcoin maximalists during the years of 2012-2017. I have missed it! Very, very cute little misunderstanding you've got there, which led to the creation of most altcoins. But once you research bitcoin more you'll become a maximalist yourself. I highly recommend you grab a copy of Saifedean Ammous' The Bitcoin Standard to correct this misunderstanding. A free way to do the same faster is to read through the Nakamoto Institute Library at: Keep in mind that Bitcoin has the only design anyone has ever come up with to separate money from state. Mining seems wasteful to someone new to the subject, but Proof of Work is one of those once-in-10-millenium discoveries that will absolutely blow your brain when it clicks.
