I guess my point had less to do with cryptocurrency and more to do with currency in general. It's not a defense of bitcoin as much as it's a critique of how much energy the system in general uses, either way.
However, it's also one that's not easily solved. Even with paper/coin money, you're still using finite resources to produce the bank-notes.
It was a bad point then, because bitcoin uses more.
