If I remember correctly, the Caribbean nation of St Kitts had a similar option a few years back. Roger Ver got his St Kitts passport after paying for the citizenship using Bitcoins. But after a few months, they removed the option of Bitcoin payment. I haven't heard about the Vanuatu citizenship program, but it looks reasonably priced when compared to the other options.

Whatever happened to that island some rich guy created to establish a free government experiment?
Recall a 60 minutes special and then rumblings of in fighting among the people and then nothing.

Recall reading a article similar to this 2 years ago here as well that turned out to be a scam of sorts.

I don't really enjoy these type of news nowadays we all know now bitcoin can't replace fiat or even international currency. Governments and shops allow to make payments using it won't make big of difference the price won't increasw because of this, these might he useful to very few people only and nowdays many don't sell their coins for these type of services

Only heard and read about Vanuatu on my high school encyclopedias. It seems that this would be capitalized by rich investors who only cares about money and not really in preserving the culture and heritage of the country. Nevertheless, it's cool to pay for your citizenship in bitcoins and be a part of innovation in a small country that would soon be flocked with different other people because of bitcoin.

It feels awesome nowadays to hear that bitcoin is now getting accepted in many unexpected things.
Few days ago I read in this board, that a university is accepting bitcoin payment as a tuition fee.
And now a island is accepting bitcoin to provide citizenship.
