Be your own bank and enter the centralized payment systems whenever you want.

Tbh I think the environmental impact of a true PoW blockchain used around the world isn't really worth it for the collective human species. But for each individual person who owns a good amount of btc, it's worth it.

Do you have any idea of the true environmental impact of your day-to-day economic choices? Whether or not an economic activity is “worth it” for the human species is an unanswerable question.

Of course it's subjective, but answerable. If everyone on earth had a monster truck that they drove around for 10 hours a day for fun... that would probably be considered wasteful by anybody reasonable.
