Colleagues, OPEC
was founded in 1960 and as of 2018 has 14 member nations which produce 44% of the world’s crude oil and possess 73$ of the world's "proven" oil reserves. OPEC members include Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Indonesia, Libya,
United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Nigeria, Ecuador, Gabon, Angola and Equatorial
Guinea. Crude oil itself is a quasi-world currency today. We also know that
some of these countries – most notably Iran – intend to use cryptocurrencies as
a means of bypassing economic trade sanctions. And others such as Saudi Arabia
may issue their own state-sponsored crude oil-backed cryptocurrencies. However,
a separate question remains: Will there come a time when one or perhaps all of
these nations will accept cryptocurrencies as “payment” for their crude oil? We
are beginning to see corporate entities such as Amazon
seriously exploring the acceptance of cryptocurrencies for their goods and services.
