The New York Times has identified 34 operations known as Bitcoin mines in the U.S., all of which are putting immense pressure on the power grid and creating costs for everyone around them, most of whom have nothing to do with Bitcoin.

Nah, it's boring because the real return is effectively zero over 50 years.
The "boring" 8% return in the stock market is only boring because you don't have a lot invested. Getting 8% on a $500,000 portfolio is a $40,000 gain. That is not boring. If you focus on a larger principal amount (aka investing more), the "boring" 8% becomes fun.
