Sapients always choose the most energy efficient strategy (abstract power projection) for their pecking order heuristics. The rest of nature however seems to favor more energy intensive strategies (physical power projection) for their pecking order heuristics.

Nature shows us over 4 billion years that a "might is right" or a "feed and breed" the strongest power projectors first pecking order heuristic is what survives in a world full of predators and entropy.

Bitcoin and proof-of-work allow humans to do away with our dysfunctional trust-based, permission-based, and inegalitarian abstract power projection methods and return to the lessons taught to us by over 4 billion years of evolution. Bitcoin allows us to return to a zero-trust, permissionless, and egalitarian physical power based competition for establishing legitimate state of ownership and chain-of-custody over our valued resources.

It turns out might actually is right.
