Bitcoin uses the same energy as a small country but it's largely renewable energy as most feasible to be profitable. Think of how much energy the current financial sector uses especially banking. All that sorting and storage and transfers.
The current paper money economy is worse than bitcoin - energy

I've seen studies that say banking is way more energy intensive... but I'm just talking from my common sense view, supporting a cash economy is very energy intensive

Paper money is just the stuff that still gets used sometimes for local transactions.
I'm pretty sure that the global banking industry has learnt how to use computers by now.
Paper money will eventually go altogether......We're just in a transitional phase.
Your argument is a bit trivial and irrelevant.

Since Bitcoin does not have any intrinsic value, its value is necessarily intersubjective, and I predict that in one year a bitcoin will be worth $30 US dollars.
Oh, I forgot to add that we will be in WWIII in one year.
