If it uses many orders of magnitudes more energy per transaction than all the existing ways of people sending money to each other, it's being peed away.

It's worse than that; there is essentially no relationship between the amount of transactions processed and the total amount of actual energy burned so the system is obviously wasteful (compared to other systems where e.g. less transactions = less energy spent)
