I find this very strange. They complain that an asset is “unregulated”? How would being unregulated concern them, as employees? What if the sustainability criticisms turn out to be wrong 5 yrs from now?
Some people have morals that make them oppose plans that they view as likely to economically harm many people. Unregulated, speculative investments like this are a zero-sum game and are going to lead to a lot of people losing their life savings on foolish investments and scams.

NFTs waste power right now. If 5 years from now they switch to PoS like Ethereum has been unsuccessfully trying to do for over a decade, then great—you can discuss it then, but it's a clear net negative for humanity at the moment.

> Ethereum has been unsuccessfully trying to do for over a decade

Won't waste my time with the back and forth, just letting the reader know this is flagrantly false, to the point it damages the argument.

LMAO, Ethereum is only ~7 years old.
That's the diplomatic way of calling NFTs for what they are: a scam
