Exactly. Crypto is like a really sophisticated gambling system, predicated on a 'resource' of literally no value whatsoever, but whose scarcity is artificially created by spewing carbon into the atmosphere and literally ruining the planet. It has one compelling use case apart from the gambling: scamming (and general criminal activity).
