My favourite part from this story covered on another site was
Does he really think $500M would significantly change a city? As if the city would get any part of it, or that Dubai is something to desire...
For all the talks about freedom and "decentralised" utopia the crypto bro cults spew all the time, they are really just obsessed with making absurd amounts of money fast. Their only motivation is greed.
Can't say I'm surprised some regard Dubai as a goal. They only see the rich man's club, they don't care about how the sausage is made.
Gee, i'm so glad brick 'n' mortar banks are different... oh, wait...
Last time I checked, most individuals are not, in fact, banks.
Last time i checked banks and "regulating" bodies are run by, you guessed it, groups of individuals.
