You would be surprised at how efficient cryptocurrency mining is compared to other ways of storing value. And most improvements happen to reduce the overall cost of securing value (PoS, PoST, etc)

Once you buy gold, you don't have to rely on other people continuing to burn resources indefinitely. You pay upfront for the cost of mining, and that's it.
