Honest question, I tried to ask it below: the optics issues of being associated with illegal activity, being a waste of energy and hardware during a chip shortage, as well as the actual reality that most people in crypto are speculators at this point, these seem like issues that crypto advocates can actually recognize and address so crypto can achieve wider adoption. It unfortunately feels like crypto enthusiasts just dismiss these concerns and think they don't matter, which just maintains the status quo with respect to its adoption.
