“The Saudi Arabian finance minister had a puzzled look on his face sitting in one of the lounges of the Congress Centre at the World Economic Forum. Ibrahim Abdulaziz al-Assaf was trying to remember where he’s heard the word ‘Bitcoin’ before. The managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, stopped by and broke his concentration. Air kisses ensued, and seconds later he was back in his chair when a flash of recognition crossed his face. Around the Congress Centre, the forum’s main hub, world and financial leaders seemed completely unaware at best and extremely skeptical at worst about Bitcoin’s merits.”
