I do uderstand some of the concerns about the energy mining is absorbing. Especially for the more 'traditional' tokens / crypto. There is a need of a lot of processingpower which consumes a lot of energy. but with most development there are a lot of coins which need way less energy to be mined. And like @steevc says, many people do think mining is for money grabbing. I do believe that is the fact in the massive mining rigs in asia for instance, low energy costs and a good revenue. But the reputation of Crypto in general is stil bad, people thonk it's a bubble, it's nothing.. But we do know that there are some great initiatives on the blockchain, with some great (alt) coins....
