When Satoshi sent the first message about Bitcoin to the metzdowd crypto list in 2009, someone asked what it was good for, and he replied you could use it for e-postage. I replied no, you can't, and concluded that Bitcoin was useless. John Gilmore presciently said: The last thing we need is to deploy a system designed to burn all available cycles, consuming electricity and generating carbon dioxide, all over the Internet, in order to produce small amounts of bitbux to get emails or spams through.
