Those stocks don’t exist if BTC doesn’t
If it wasn't bitcoin. Something would have filled that void. Bitcoin was/is inevitable <thanos.gif> besides they do mine more than just BTC. But I get your point, without BTC we wouldn't have all the others... Probably... Maybe. I still kinda think something would have filled the space BTC now occupies.

I see where you’re coming from too, that could be a good option in that scenario

But... To try and answer your question without looking for loopholes.
Maybe hydrogen vehicles/infrastructure. Most of its already there. The current gasoline system/pumps could be converted to take hydrogen fairly effectively I think. Techs still in its infancy, but it could be a legit route. Especially if fusion becomes a reality, it's "waste" product is hydrogen... Sooo... Waste product becomes fuel for the transport industry.

Def a better alternative to EVs imo, and a better alternative if “carbon footprint” is what society is choosing to be scared of lol

Carbon footprint is such a radicalised idea. The carbon footprint of an avocado is gigantic... Yet everyone and their mum is chowing down on avocado and toast. What about the Columbian coffee drunk in Europe? If you want to offset your carbon footprint. Eat local, get your local veg from a local veg market (or grow it yourself) eat local meat from your local farmers. It's not complicated it's just plain common sense. But nah we'd rather scream "carbon footprint" at everyone else like some kinda virtue signalling calling card instead of look inwards about how we can individually change our habits.
Sorry went off on a little rant there. Yeah I agree, better alternative to EVs for sure. I don't want to wait 15-30mins to charge my vehicle if I can fill it with gas (pun intended) hydrogen in like 3minutes and be back on my way.
