My favourite part from this story covered on another site was

Howells says that if only the council had entertained his excavation requests, "Newport would look like Dubai." Currently, it still looks like Newport.

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.

Yeah wtf. Seeing Dubai as the ultimate utopia is so weird.
