Assuming there is a future for us, big assumption, oh to be a fly on the wall when people are taught that in our era, already aware that we were destroying the planet with heavy industry, we decided to amp up the destruction by generating energy intensive to produce encrypted digital bullshit tokens with fake value as yet another thing to trade with one another just for the hell of it.

I feel like this will be an easily understandable concept, provided that money still exists

I feel like given the weather events we're seeing, that will continue to worsen, greed as a justification to destroy the habitability of our only world will be met with contempt once most have lost friends/relatives to the accompanying destruction/famines/droughts. No different than the highly profitable slave trade.

If we make it and find ways to mitigate or tolerate our new climate that will take millions of years to repair itself from what we've done in decades, we will likely be considered very backwater and primitive for doing it eyes wide open.
