I agree that scaling power comsumption is unsustainable - both ecologically and ecoomically!
But power consumption is no inherent attribute of crypto, but a design choice.
Bitcoin just refuses to adjust.
Ethereum did that not very long ago.

What I'm trying to say is: there are designs available that operate at a very tiny power consumption.
Don't lump all crypto together with Bitcoin.
