This is a fallacy I don't like. How about we solve both? Stopping bitcoin mining and drying using efficient technique if possible. We should dry cloth by hanging it if we can. If people aren't doing it, then I think we should discourage it. It just becomes essential during rainy or winter season where we can't dry clothes. And with modern dense urban style of living, which I disdain, has made people dependence on such tools because there is less space for gardening, drying clothes etc… And drying cloth by hanging require rotation otherwise color may fade etc. The problem with bitcoin is its incentive to burn energy. Miners are competition to burn energy. While drying clothes, we aren't in competition with each other. One is game, the other is not. That's a big difference, IMHO. Yes, traditional financial system is also bad that it requires loads of server etc. to maintain. But again, there is no incentive to burn energy just to win probability games. How about we acknowledge that bitcoin is really problematic. Just like with everything, it has some miniscule benefits like it provides a way to live in certain countries like Argentina. But, just like with engineering difficulties, we should be able to weight its advantage and disadvantage. Bitcoin is clearly a bane for this world. If you had compared drying clothes with 10x energy and increment of it as people dry more using machines, it would be analogous, but as of now your argument doesn't hold water.
