You can argue all day that's wasting energy, the crypto-ecosystem, chip manufacturers, miners, energy providers, users, developers, traders, bankers and companies driving billion of dollars of revenue (Aka value for human beings who will produce and consume goods in the real World with this revenue ) out of it are proving that you're missing the bigger picture. I've never understood HN's concerns with crypto. Following the same logic, people are literally burning petrol in their cars while it could be used for <insert supposedly better use case> Is it for ecological reasons ? You're still moving 2 tons of metal everywhere you go, and eating meat. Cryptos are not less moral or valuable than plenty of things you do or cherish. Let people mine crypto, eat meat at Wendy's driving their F150, because the world is not black and white.
