... Thats your utopia? How about we figure out a way to store/transfer wealth which doesnt need to perform arbitrary calculations and cause massive power consumption

Money doesn't store wealth. You make an agreement that a person in the future gives you wealth called a loan.

Bitcoin investors expect the people of the future to work for them even though they made no such agreement.

We have tried the other way of enforcing money. That route of using military force is well understood. Is it better?
You think crypto will make the military unnecessary? Let's see how good you are at protecting your wallet keys with a gun to your head...
Since you opened the whatabout game, have you looked at setting up time locked multi-sig?

We do need a military to enforce our borders from illegal invaders.
