You do understand that cops and fighter jets and nukes are the only reason why you are not slaving in labor camp for some foreign power? It's a necessity. Bitcoin is useless for anyone's physical safety. As of today is provides almost zero value at all. You could argue, that censorship resistance is helpful for people living in authoritarian regimes but that's about it, so the only value it has comes from it being "illegal" in some region. At the same time Bitcoin is already wasting as much resources as some mid-sized European country. The environmental argument is relevant in every way.
