"Then it flags bitcoin as an environmental hazard"

Well, it got that part right. Any non-POS scheme is just trading stake for something else, and buying and burning energy, no matter how green the source, is pure unnecessary waste. Skip the trading part and save the world.

Your examples of use are all good.

I do agree, proof of work at this point is entirely outdated. I actually don't invest in Bitcoin because I think a lot of the technology is antiquated, and there are better solutions for everything but the network affect.
