He is saying, that fraud on blockchain platforms caused much less damage, than state wide survelliance for instance. But there's no cry to dismantle all government structures because of it.

Not agreeing, just trying to explain that point. IMHO, this is sort of whataboutism.

But I don't agree with the criticism either, for blockchains/Bitcoin so far does not deal measurable damage. Energy consumption is not a danger on it's own.
