I do see one use of Bitcoin - harvesting energy in remote places where the electricity transmission cost is prohibitively high. Cheap energy in remote places that have no chance of transmitted out for normal usage is converted to value in Bitcoin.

Or we could just burn it. In what way is bitcoin more valuable than smoke?

Why does it have to the coal or gas? Why not geothermal, solar, wind, or tidal wave?
