There is a lot of talk about how Bitcoin mining incentivises the creation of cheaper energy, but what is not often talked about is how it also incentivises the creation of cheaper computation.
I think bitcoin is not big enough yet to incentivizes the creation of cheaper computation.
According to studies gamers consumes similar electricity as bitcoin mining:
"Based on our very rough estimates, we found that the worldwide electricity consumption of people playing video games is 46% higher than the total consumption of Bitcoin mining as of November 2019."
