if you don’t wanna create emissions, just use solar power.

If you have access to solar power, it would be better to use it for something else, or feed it back into the grid.
As long as we're still burning fossil fuels to create electricity anywhere on earth, wasting any kind of energy is bad.

Crypto has a price (because people believe that it has a price).
It doesn't add any value to anything. It's expensive (in terms of energy cost) and absolutely, 100% useless.

So your saying that if I use solar power to power a lightbulb that then I forget to turn off, that's bad?

Uh actually it is not useless, no idea where you got that, there's tons of things you can buy with it. Other than drugs (which alone provide a use case, but il continue anyway), you can pay for protonmail, buy computer and other stuff. and theres a few lists (https://monerica/ .com/ is one) with a bunch of more stuff you can do with it. (I'm not endorsing anything here, just saying it exists)

crypto just facilitates more trade over the internet, thats how its useful
