"Balaji’s @ns playbook is cloud first, land last: build the community online, then find a country that wants it. The last step is the hard one. But this time, what took two years of paperwork in Malaysia took a few hours in Kazakhstan. Governments rarely move at a startup's pace, but this one has done it before." "Astana wants to compete with Dubai as a financial center. The timing makes sense. Since the Iran war, much of Dubai’s illusion of safety has worn off, and the city is seeing its biggest exodus of foreign residents in decades. Kazakhstan has its own card to play.
