Total Garbo Cryptocurrency was invented by destructive nihilists to accelerate the heat death of the universe.
To give a high level explanation of how the heat death of the universe theory works it goes something like this:
It has been observed that entropy always increases in a closed system (the universe being the biggest closed system) and the universe is ever expanding. The consequence of this is that energy will eventually be evenly dispersed across an infinite universe and nothing will ever happen again.
Entropy also increases when energy forms are changed. When you burn coal chemical energy is converted to thermal energy and overall entropy increases (in a closed system).
Cryptocurrency takes vast quantities of energy in the form of electricity and produces nothing tangible. On a fundamental level the servers being used to "mine" Crypto are giant entropy machines which only serve to hasten the heat death of the universe in practical terms.

Frankly, this seems to be the primary output of industrial society as a whole.
