A waste by most societal measures. Purely imaginary point backed by nothing that is easily defrauded and highly volatile. With no societal or personal value. And we've chosen to burn gigawatts of energy on this foolish game. Its easy to see it as enormous waste.

A waste by your societal measures. It's easy to see it as enormous waste, for you

Speaking of "burnt gigawatts", if our society is still using coal to produce energy, are you blaming also Bitcoin for this? Too easy, sorry.

it's a waste for 99.9% of the World population, assuming that bitcoin's 6 million wallets represent 6 million different people.

So yes, it's arithmetically a total waste.
