 I’ve had this idea for a while now. 

I want to build a model that displays the current Bitcoin holdings as a city. As described by Saylor, there is a cube with dimensions 276x276x276 that represents the total amount of Bitcoin.

My idea is to take the base of this cube and extend the height upwards to create a city – similar to Minecraft, but based on Bitcoin holdings. Each tower that emerges could be individually designed to represent different amounts of Bitcoin holders. From countries, companies to single persons. It would take a ton of time though. 


What do you think of this idea? Should I pursue it further? 
 sound great. If you have a good knowledge of programming languages then you can maybe use three.js and create a website out of it.

I dont really know how Bitcoin and cryptos work but this is a great idea !! 
 What’s the goal of this creation? 
 Bitcoin distribution more visually and beautifully  
 It’s a nice idea, up to you if it’s worth spending time to create it, I suggest automating it so the city builds itself in time, maybe more work in the beginning, but then it would just grow on its own 
 Dew it! Unlimited POWER!!!!!!! 
 It reminds me of those infographics sites that showed how much gold as ingots under the Eiffel tower and dollars as pallets of stacks of cash piled up in skyscraper shapes...
