@SuperDicq I believe that it's mostly because how the vast majority of people use cryptocurrency as cryptoinvestment/speculation games/scams (and are super loud about spreading this bs). and tbh when cryptocurrency is used like that instead of being used as a currency it's a waste of everything.
just to be clear, I am not saying that all cryptocurrency stuff are like that but I am saying the extreme prevelance of this stuff is why people view them and mining negatively
