One is not like the other. Art and entertainment are not useless to society, just because they don't have a utilitarian aspect. You can see that millions of people enjoy art/entertainment in some form and pay for it. There are also big scams like predatory IP enforcement and micro transactions, which we should fight against. Cryptocurrencies were a revolutionary idea which has mostly resulted in crap results. Scams and random ware are rampant. Transactions are slow and expensive, unless you centralize them and lose all advantages of a decentralized platform. The environment pays huge costs with PoW, and PoS is always mentioned but never implemented by any of the big players. Also contributed to a shortage of chips and GPUs which affected the rest of the world. So no, one is not like the other.
