Think about all the power we generate to mine bitcoin. That could power HVAC for a small country. So, bitcoin exists to create a decentralized currency to prevent government from regulating the currency so the advent of a financial clapse bit coin holders will be able to keep the power on. The very power being spent to generate bitcoin. Add on the extra carbon emissions from running the power plants and you have an equation for certain clapse.

Work is not completely obsolete, since there's plenty of stuff that can't be automated, but imagine if we paid living wages for growing food and build infrastructure. We could afford to eliminate all the useless shit jobs, like middle managers and marketing executives.
