What I especially like is that they don't state Bitcoin enable Iranians to pass by the embargo, but

Jung Iranians are going for Bitcoin. To get money out of the country - or to buy Dollar or Euro. Everything anonymous, the regime has no chance to control.

Really positive.

Naively positive, though. A little research would've revealed that we're talking about something like maybe 20-30 dudes in Iran using bitcoin. Of course, every journey starts with a single step.

Right, from the writing you could get the impression there is some kind of bitcoin gold rush going on in Iran.

pretty good article. positive for bitcoin.

however they got one thing wrong: it's not USD vs. EUR/Yuan/Gold/BTC/... it's more like FIAT vs. BTC/GOLD/any potentially upcoming gold-backed currency.


True, one step at a time I guess Smiley
