It's funny how we love praxeology and we love hashing Asics. Why?
Because we need something that is like money but better. We need a practical money that is strengthened by our participation and use, just like Fiat currency but we want a currency that's based on kilowatts (energy moving via work).
It's the karmic law of the universe. Instead of wasting energy and computational power on the selling of dollars we are running nodes, miners and watchtowers and then going outside to play.
