My issue with crypto is simply the amount of power it consumes.
The power issue is overblown hysteria. It consumes a small percentage of global power output. And as has been pointed out, some of the larger networks are transitioning away from proof of work though that is not without some controversy.
All viable currency can lead to illegal (by government laws) stuff. Unless you want zero privacy and every transaction you make totally qualified by whoever deem as legal.
Maybe he doesn't, but there certainly are a great many people who would absolutely be fine with it. Many are willing to sacrifice just about anything for perceived safety, especially when it's someone else's freedom they're trading off and not something they care for.
