I'm a crypto bear myself, but I'm not sure I agree with this argument. Plenty of services are built around "just moving money around" - accounting in this way has a ton of real value or else stripe, visa, paypal etc wouldn't be the huge companies they are. The questions are, whether "investing" by buying and holding is the right way to capture the value that this produces, and whether the benefits of doing it on a distributed blockchain outweigh the costs.
