An accessible store of value/trade that isn't controlled by a powerful state like US whose interests aren't really the best for humanity.

If that's not good for society, I don't know what is.

Oh how about saving CO2? Because climate change will be even more expensive.

Or creating or just using your own currency?

There are a lot more good options than shitcoins

Climate change will be expensive regardless of "shitcoins".

Those "shitcoins" at least pave a way to take power from large entities whose best interest isn't saving world's climate, doing more good than harm indirectly.
