You know what else uses as much water as a swimming pool? Swimming pools.

And don't get me started on golf courses.

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.
