Billion

<p><strong>The inimitable Max Keiser has reignited the rumor. Qatar is reportedly about to invest 500 billion in bitcoin. Just that…</strong></p> 
<h2 id="h-bitcoin-airways">Bitcoin Airways</h2> 
<p>This is not the first time rumors have swirled about Qatar. They date back to 2021 when the CEO of the Qatari sovereign wealth fund <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/6/23/qatar-wealth-fund-chief-is-waiting-for-cryptocurrencies-to-mature" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a> that bitcoin needed <em>“to be a little more mature”</em> before his fund could consider investing in it.</p>

</div> 
<p>Then, in the summer of 2022, in line with the prevailing clichés, Mansoor Bin Ebrahim Al Mahmoud mistakenly said that his fund was <em>“not interested in cryptocurrencies per se”, but rather in “the underlying technology of blockchain”…</em></p> 
<p>Fortunately, today, hardly anyone argues that the “bLockCHain” can be used for anything other than bitcoin. It’s like believing in planes, but not so much in wings.</p> 
<p>Has the head of the Qatari sovereign wealth fund realized this? That’s what Max Keiser suggests when he says <em>“the rumors are thickening”…</em></p> 
<p><em>“Rumor has it that the Qatari sovereign wealth fund intends to buy 500 billion dollars’ worth of bitcoin,”</em> he tweeted.</p>

<p>The Salvadorian ambassador has probably gotten carried away, as he often does. Indeed, the most recent estimates place the Qatari fund’s value at just 475 billion dollars…</p> 
<p>But there’s no smoke without fire. The Emir of Qatar even <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/lemir-du-qatar-au-salvador-le-bitcoin-bientot-couronne-a-doha-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">visited</a> El Salvador as recently as this past September…</p> 
<p>Did President Bukele convince His Highness Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to embrace bitcoin?</p>
