So, burn tons of fossil fuels to mine bitcoin, thus forcing tons of fossil fuels to be burned to build new generating capacity? Nope, can't think of any issues with it.
We waste tons of energy every day on useless things. I'm not trying to argue Bitcoins energy usage vs alternatives. To me the thought provoking part is increases demand but for things that could be turned off for a while. I think vertical farming is especially interesting in that case.
Yes we want things to use less energy & be more efficient. I hope that goes without saying.
