It can currently been argued that this competition led to concentrating

Bitcoin is since a few weeks prohibited in China but it seems hard to kill.
But still, I don't think the use of blockchain in healthcare can be
compared to the use of blockchain in currency, because, bitcoins is
about getting rich by creating as many as possible, while in healthcare
they exist to facilitate processes, and the number of processes create
the demand, not the wish to get rich.
Another thing which came to mind, electricity is expensive because it
needs to be created near the place where it is going to be used, or it
needs to be transported. But blockchains for any purpose can be created
on any place on earth, also on places where energy is almost for free.
For example, windmills on top of the Himalaya, or solar cells in the
middle of the Sahara. Just transport the bitcoins, no need to pollute
the world very much.
