We mine 3300 tonnes of gold each year!
“It’s the same situation as gold and gold mining. The marginal cost of gold mining tends to stay near the price of gold. Gold mining is a waste, but that waste is far less than the utility of having gold available as a medium of exchange. I think the case will be the same for Bitcoin. The utility of the exchanges made possible by Bitcoin will far exceed the cost of electricity used. Therefore, not having Bitcoin would be the net waste.” - Satoshi Nakamoto

Gold is unusable as a medium of exchange
Well, that’s why gold has to work in conjunction with silver and copper
Another concept that people just don’t understand is that when Ben Franklin coined the term a penny saved is a penny earned a penny had the same buying power at that day as $0.50 has today
I’d rather have digitally scarce money that is only going to get more scarce with each halving while gold supply keeps increasing
