Just here to point out, once again, that there's lots of "crypto" stuff that doesn't use proof of work.

Proof of stake chains already secure over 50 Billion dollars in value - https://defillama.com/chains. Everything but Ethereum in the top 20 is proof of stake, Ethereum will be transitioning to it this year.
