Also to some extent 'work' adds some of the value to cryptos (outside of just speculation), how will not having to do anything to obtain give a coin its core value?
Well, if you find another decentralized way to do it you could have something big in your hands.

Mining is the most used method to distribute crypto, people say this is good for decentralization but some big entity like walmart could just get a lot of hashing power and own the network. Aside from easily ending in centralization mining also leaves a big enviormental footprint, is costly and wastes recources should cryptos move away from mining and find a better distribution method?
