Without googling, can you guess by how much the ocean level will increase if all Arctic Ocean ice will melt?

We're melting just the ice in the Arctic Ocean and no other ice anywhere else on the planet?

Its true... its not the arctic ice we need to worry about... (as far as water levels go). Its the Antarctic.

However... the Arctic is a really good gauge of how fast the planet is warming, and affects currents, and weather patterns.
The North Atlantic Current is sort of really important.

As far as trick questions that are supposed to show how much smarter the OP is, this one is pretty lame.
You really think people don't understand that arctic ice floats on the ocean already, vs Greenland and Antarctic ice?

I voted zero. I won't explain it, other people should have a go first.
It's zero because the weight of frozen water in the Arctic Ocean is already applying all the displacement.

If you ignore the effects of thermal expansion none as sea ice already displaces water based on its mass. Land ice like Greenland and Antarctica would have an impact but thermal expansion would at least equal that amount.

You would be surprised how many simple things people do not understand. People cannot understand that crypto cannot exists in long-run and it will eventually collapse. People do not understand that without fiat currency and inflation the economy will run into a deep recession. People do not understand that wealth tax or high capital gain tax will lead to capital leaving the country. There are many simple things that people do not understand, so, I am pretty sure many people do not understand simple physics. And I bet there are many such people among loud environmental activists.

It is simple. If crypto is this destructive governments will ban it. So far many powerful countries are not interested in doing this. Even Russia recently came out to say it has no plans to ban and supports it. Your head is filled with this Fear Uncertainty and Doubt because this is all you can see and what your paradigm limits you to see beyond these though limitations which are not based on reality. There are many things that people say that just do not make sense based on actual reality, what happens and what will happen.

In your head you are so sure that “crypto cannot exists in long-run and it will eventually collapse.” But you do not see you are actually projecting your flaws here. First by assuming you know what will happen in the future. Nobody knows what will happen in the future. Also this is not objective attitude as you try to claim or proclaim to be. This is arrogant and egotistical. If economic experts actually believed this crypto would be banned everywhere. It is not and actually more and more governments keep supporting it, more powerful institutional investors keep pumping billions into it while you proclaim to have a crystal ball and can see the future on an adult site intended to hook up with prostitutes and gain reviews. Don’t you see the irony here? Do you actually believe you are smarter then billionaires and governments on an adult hook up site?

Ok, so lets see your calculation to account for the difference in volume between frozen and liquid water.
You said its simple, right?

Yes, it is simple: the difference in the volume does not matter :). I guess, it is safe to put you in the group who does not understand basic physics.

And how about the density of the ice water compared to the ocean water?
Does that matter?
