it's weird, but legal for some reason. Giving back energy to the grid can cost money. Shy of just stacking a bunch of batteries, what could I do with the spare summer sunlight?

It's not the coins themselves, obviously. People use crypto in plenty of dodgy ways. Most common crypto scams from the top of my head: rug pulls, nft's, play-to-earn, crypto exchanges blocking people from withdrawing but allowing transactions into Russia, people buying and selling on the black market.

I've seen all of these happen, and it's still an issue. I don't want to be enabling that

inb4 "nft's aren't inherently bad". It's not much different from the art industry. lots of laundering and tax avoidance there
