I'm sure way more computation power is used to determine your candy crush score.

I think you're overestimating the power used to determine your candy crush score by orders of magnitude of orders of magnitude.

The Bitcoin network is currently more powerful[1] than the entire top500 combined.

[1] At least, that's what they tell me. I suppose it depends what you define as power.

But then again, my phone's GPU is infinitely more powerful at 3D rasterization than the entire Bitcoin network (because the Bitcoin network can't do 3D rasterization).

My analogy might be a bit convoluted, but my point is that - as you mention - that we're comparing oranges to apples. We're comparing a general-purpose computer to doing a SHA256 hash.

DOTDIW, I guess.
