More like fuck crypto mining. There are cryptos that dont need mining.

If there's no demand for a particular crypto then people mining it can't sell it and go out of business. People mine this stuff because other people will pay them for it.

Good job, totally missed my point.

You can buy/sell ones that arent dependend on mining. Not every crypto is the same.

Ah, you're referring to non-proof-of-work chains. There's no need to be snarky, your comment could be interpreted in multiple ways.

Which ones? I’m curious since I don’t follow the scene and only know of mainstream stuff.

Beats me, I'm only interested in the technology :D Chia was plotted and not mined I think, but other then that ...
