Taking the biggest individiual things for both colliders and blockchains, the energy draw of the LHC is absolutely miniscule when compared to Bitcoin (even if we take the most conservative estimates for the latter). I would consider that energy cost justified given the chance of discovering new knowledge about physics that could help in the process of space exploration. The chance that Bitcoin would help with that is really small in comparison, especially when contrasted with its ludicrous energy usage.
