Comment on Each Bitcoin transaction uses 4,200 gallons of water — enough to fill a swimming pool — and could potentially cause freshwater shortages

  Don’t get me started on humans either. Not only do those thirsty shits require shitloads of water to function, it also needs to be clean! Not relatively clean either, but clean clean!

  Do you have any idea how many bitcoin farms I could run if there weren’t any humans? Me neither, but it’s probably zero.

    Yeah, whataboutism is essentially telling on one's self; an implicit recognition that one has no better arguments than to try to distract.

  Are swimming pools using one swimming pool or water per swim? Per year? 5 years? 10 years?

  I think you missed the ‘per transaction’ part. Which is kind of important.
