I always find it inspring to complete a 5 hour road trip that used to be such a treacherous and painful journey. I'm happy to see Bitcoin adoption is going strong in this region and I like to think that all the technological innovations that allowed humanity to thrive in a desert can serve as a kind of cultural heritage for Bitcoin, a reminder of all the pre-Satoshi off-chain work that made it possible, and a foreshadowing of how far we can take it.

Thank you for reading! It's my first attempt at writing anything, and I don't read often, so it's hard to gauge how it will be perceived from the reader's perspective. I'm drawing inspiration from Ayn Rand's philosophy, but my overall intention is purely for it to have entertainment value, so "fun" is the best compliment I could have hoped for ^^
