For context, the market cap of bitcoin is believed to be around 30 billion right now. Whereas that sounds like a lot, to a country it's chump change. Lithuania makes (way) more than that every year. (Yemen, that famously rich and peaceful state, makes about 27B a year.)
I think the TL;DR of this article is "people are really bad at understanding scale."
