Not really.
Life transforms matter and energy into increasing structure and complexity.
A classic pathological life-like process is the paperclip maximizer.
The paperclip maximizer transforms matter and energy into a regular structure of low complexity.
Crypto is one step worse than the paperclip maximizer. It converts matter and energy into pseudo-random numbers.
The only structure discernible within the randomness is the mechanism that induces organic lifeforms to work on behalf of crypto.
