Controversial thought after reading this sentence: It's cryptocoins all over again.
Cryptocoins deliberately burn more energy doing useless calculations to prevent inflation. That's a little bit of an oversimplification, but I don't feel like explaining the full thing and the vibes are there.
That'd be fine. Cryptocurrency as a whole is still going strong (total market cap is around 3 trillion dollars) and most of the major ones have switched over to energy-free proof-of-stake validation.
Sadly most Crypto nowadays is really just for either speculation or buying things on the dark web. Wish there were more legitimate uses for it, although i am fine using it for the spicier things in life.
