Bullshit. Energy wasted is energy wasted. It could have done something usefull, but instead it got sunk into a pow. Given miners run 24/7 and have no load following makes things worse. The existing financial infrastructure is also usable, at scale, in sharp contrast to bitcoin. See, I like the idea of a "amazon for drugs", but bitcoins cost is just not worth it. Disclosure: Adopted bitcoin 0.2, make money with it.
