Crypto and NFTs don't produce anything tangible
if just against using data processing itself for energy consumption there are other things that use far more processing power than any of these like social media and not always for good
even online gaming can be argued to be wasteful, but it brings joy to many like generating Ai art does to others
I was against pointless waste but to their credit many are using green energy now for this stuff, I even pay extra to use green energy though I am not in a position to get solar panels (lack of funds, house too old would need rewiring and surrounded by massive trees)
most of the Ai I do is on my own PC and my electricity bill was a record low this quarter
