It looks like you are using ChatGPT too much and feeding yourself untrustworthy information for no reason.
Internet search still exists, there is no need to use ChatGPT for this. Simply typing "how much water per btc transaction" into Google will give you this top response much faster than ChatGPT would:
> Buying or selling bitcoin uses 16,000 litres of clean water for every single transaction.
This is reported by New Scientist, who's reporting is based on actual calculations (using real data) from a PHD candidate at the Amsterdam School of Business and Economics.
Whereas the number given by ChatGTP is based on nothing but the statistical probability of what would sound correct in this context, and has no guarantee of accuracy at all. In this case it was off by an order of magnitude compared to the number based on real data.
The internet search probably used a lot less water as well (beside being both faster and more trustworthy).
