But likewise, someone could use their car to safely get them to and from where they're heading or also use it to drive directly into a crowd of people. Just because something can be abused doesn't diminish the value it provides.
And to your second question, I don't really have a great answer. I can't say that BoostPow is necessary the most economically efficient way to signal the value for content. But the important thing is that as a completely new market, if it is inefficient, the market can adjust, just in the same way that difficulty adjusts based on hash rate. I relate with your points about money. I feel strongly that those are easily misunderstood but important points to recognize.
I understand your third point. But isn't it occasionally practical and useful to render tasks for which you're woefully insufficient onto services which are aimed at fulfilling those very tasks? When I want to show my wife that I love her, I go to the store and buy roses. I don't plant them. (Although that's also very sweet and romantic gesture, but you get my point.)
