Ok, “Nah” noted. But for the past billions of years, the same resources have been “wasted” throughout the entire uncountable universe. Dismantling a few planets around a few stars to build Bitcoin mining infrastructure is not remotely problematic for a K3 civilization, for instance. The argument that because humanity is wasting it it’s bad seems faulty.

The argument is that Bitcoin mining will asymptotically approach to taking all resources your civilization can access. Always stuck at 99.999...%, and only adding more 9-s.

So with K3 civilization, we're not talking about dismantling a few planets - but rather dismantling the neighbourhood galaxies.
