I hate the miss-allocation of funds toward things that are objectively worse for the world. At least with loss-leading-mega-projects and rampant corruption, some of the money cycles back to contribute to society. I just see crypto a net tax on society in the wasted electricity, hardware for more novel uses, and the shear number of people being thrown at building a better pile of crap to extract money out of. Finance is and enough for that, but at least they tend to invest in things that often make people's lives better in some way .
