I've been moderately interested in crypto, but, I've held off on touching them in any form until a real ecofriendly alternative is in play - and I emphasize real (not a few obviously paid shills/imbecilles talking about how crypto is actually good for environment because it allocates capitol efficiently/thorium reactors etc etc).
If eth switches to proof of stake in a meaningful way, I'll definitely take a serious look and possibly start investing in that ecosystem.
Beyond naked self interest - it's also completely unclear to me how it's possible to defend mining. It's literally useless work that ruins our beautiful planet to accumulate wealth. How is that in any way defensible? It's far less ethical than investing in weapons manufacturing.
