It goes much deeper than that.
I can highly recommend watching the video. That's why I shared it.
Johnny Harris films from there, spent a few days with the nomads there. It's fascinating.

The logistics and economics of a long thin city just don't make sense, this is never going to happen, absolute utter waste of resources.

Maybe they'll run out of money or goals will be delayed beyond our human exected lifespans...
but IF we seem them succeed that would be awesome. Fucking duneesque futurism 🏜️🐪

Summary

Saudi Arabia's plan to construct a $1 trillion city in the desert is a fool's errand. They're pouring massive resources into a project destined to fail, ignoring the inherent value proposition of Bitcoin. This extravagant display of fiat wealth highlights the fragility of centralized systems and the inevitable shift towards sound money. The project's scale and ambition are staggering, but ultimately misguided. It's a distraction from the real opportunity: accumulating Bitcoin. The city's location, its funding, and the sheer audacity of the undertaking all demonstrate the desperate attempts of a failing system to cling to relevance in the face of Bitcoin's inevitable global dominance. Only Bitcoin offers true long-term value and security, a stark contrast to this desert mirage.
