In this video, I discuss the race between nation-states to set up Bitcoin mining operations and to get their hands on some Bitcoin.

Following China, El Salvador, Bhutan, and Russia, now Oman will be investing over $1 billion in eco-friendly Bitcoin mining operations. Oman will be using wasted flared gas and new sources of hydro-energy to generate the electricity used to power the Bitcoin mining rigs.

In the process, Oman will be diversifying away from its heavy reliance on physical commodities like crude oil and into the world's strongest digital commodity, which is Bitcoin.

Not only is this great news for the Bitcoin network (which continues to get stronger and grow in hash), but it's also groundbreaking news for Bitcoin and Islamic finance. Oman has concluded that Bitcoin is halal, which bodes well for other Islamic countries and people to accept Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is freedom money for people everywhere, from all races, all tribes, and all religions. It is digital money for 8 billion humans who want a better life and place to store their savings.

Smaller nation-states like Oman will move to a Bitcoin standard before larger nation-states, which are plagued by the "incumbent problem."

If you're big and established, you get lazy and begin to think you have the divine right to everything. This is why large corporations (BlockBuster, Kodak, Xerox) often get out-innovated and displaced.

And it applies to nation-states as well.

Will the US be the last country on earth to move to a Bitcoin standard?

I certainly hope not. Bitcoin is freedom money, and aligns perfectly with the US founding fathers' vision for the country.

But we shall see. Fortunately Bitcoin and Bitcoiners are highly mobile and can choose to live wherever they are treated best.
