This is why the home computer and smartphone revolutions we were promised never happened. No one absolutely had to have them so everyone waited for next year's cheaper, faster, and better models and the market died out. Imagine a terri

That's incorrect. The busywork is to prove that a certain amount of time is likely to have elapsed, as a coordination mechanism in a network of unreliable, uncoordinated, or even adversarial actors. PoW is valued by the network and its
