This is true, that was badly worded. Maybe something like "the few use cases that make sense to me have finally become guilt-free".

But I still don't necessarily want to be an early adopter in every piece of technology. I'm perfectly content to let people find the sharp edges and report back -- and either way up until now it was an absolute no for me with the environmental impact (knowing that PoS was possible) and rampant low-grade scams.

Proof of work was a rudimentary attempt at security a network, and if you read the Bitcoin whitepaper, it was never suggested as the best solution. This wording still applies undue negativity to crypto fundamentals. It's totally fine to not jump on every new technology, but equally fine not to be a hater towards new technology which is still being developed. :)
