Me too, didnt find details about Iran ban of btc. Speculations only maybe, cos I dont see confimation yet.
what you say is true bro, there is no bitcoin ban in iran,, as i know iran only prohibits bitcoin mining for reasons of wasting energy, and the occurrence of power outages in several iranian countries, just like china also prohibits bitcoin mining
they can't ban bitcoin investment, because bitcoin has become a crypto haven in iran..

Unless the OP gives a link from a reliable mainstream media article, I am going to treat this as fake news. Iran needs Bitcoin much more than the other way around. Recently, the regime even encouraged Bitcoin mining inside its jurisdiction, in order to earn valuable Forex and circumvent the sanctions. For the last few weeks, cryptocurrency sector has been flooded with FUD, and this rumor is the latest one being used for that purpose. Iran contributes to around 5% of the hash power and any ban could potentially bankrupt the miners there.
because indeed this news actually does not exist and indeed iran does not ban bitcoin which iran prohibits that is mining is only temporary, only 4 months because they lack electricity supply and when bitcoin mining occurs iran is increasingly short of electricity so it causes power outages.
we don't know what will happen after 4 months but there is definitely no statement from the iran government banning bitcoin.

This Ban Can't Stop Users To Use Bitcoin, Still Users Will Use Bitcoin, they will Find Another Way And Will Start Using Bitcoin
You may have to read some of the post on the first page before you start answering. What you need to know is that there is no ban on the use of bitcoin in Iran and they can trade it as usual because the ban only applies to bitcoin mining. This can trigger the emergence of FUD in the market so that the price of bitcoin can be affected because Iran is one of the countries included in the list of the top 10 bitcoin mining countries. However, this mining ban is only temporary until a solution is found.

This news comes after the ban from China and its impact does not appear to have affected the crypto market.
Iran's ban has a limited time and we can hope in winter miners can return to their mining.

Iran is a crypto paradise,, Iran has only banned bitcoin miners for a few months, because of the energy waste problem, in 2018 Iran did the same,, China has banned bitcoin miners, now Iran is following in China's footsteps, what do you think for the future, which country again that will also ban bitcoin minin

This news was reported in barely every news agency and even in international TVs and you are still talking about speculations. That country risks electricity shortage in the hot summer with the enormous rise of power consumption in this season + illegal mining activities will cut electricity from large parts of the country and this will destabilise the fragile situation there. It is normal to restrict or temporarily ban mining until September. End of the story.

That really makes sense when you said that it might be possible that the possibility of electric shortage is very high and that might be the reason why the Iranians have temporarily banned Bitcoin for the time being so that they would be able to save on electricity and they will be able to save power for the summer when it gets very hot. That is really logical in my opinion and definitely not a big blow on Bitcoin. So I guess I will not bother nor be worried for Bitcoin.

Agree, humans always find a way to get out of things and this ban is just a piece of cake for them, although the market will definitely get affected by these ban even if the people are crafty when accessing bitcoin.

Nope. It is not easy. If the ban was on Bitcoin trading, then I would say that there are ways to get around. But they have banned Bitcoin mining (the OP wrongly posted as "Iran bans Bitcoin"). Now it is not that easy to anonymously mine Bitcoin. Trading can be done digitally and therefore it is easy to use a VPN and hide your identity. But this is not possible with mining. Physical hardware is involved and you need electricity and cooling. It will be impossible to do Bitcoin mining in a 100% anonymous manner.

Iran bans Bitcoin a few days after China did. This is coming after what seemed like an aftereffect of the Chinese action that saw Bitcoin dip severely (it still hasn't recovered from it).

I'm wondering if there are going to be any side effects or consequences for the Bitcoin community with the action taken by the Iranian government or is it just another case of "the snail shouldn't talk where animals with horns are asked for opinions"? Iran isn't such a big name in the crypto space, by the way.

According to report, the ban is a temporary one which will last only four months to enable the country correct its power blackout.

Do you think this ban from Iran is another FUD?
maybe the news is FUD, so many people are afraid and maybe behind it there are some people who want to make a profit. I've read that Iran is also called a crypto paradise, Iran offers cheap electricity fees, and Iran offers miners to sell their bitcoins to the central bank. the country also allows the mined currency to be used to pay for legal goods. and recently there was news that iran banned bitcoin because many cities in the country had power outages binding. so I myself feel that all this is FUD, and I will not be affected by this news.

Most countries in the world have had such a bad effect on the price of bitcoin to ban bitcoin and the price has started to go down. But even though there is no information about the ban on bitcoin in Iran has banned mining of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin for four month bitcoin's activities run through blockchain which is actually a digital ledger of transactions. Miners audit these ledgers in the hope of making a bitcoin profit and the whole process requires incredibly high computing power which is why the power consumption is so high.

Every measure is introduced, there will be his reason, Iran's measure, in my opinion, is quite reasonable.

How can it be called reasonable? Bitcoin miners are not stealing electricity from anywhere. They are paying for the electricity they use, as per the prevailing rates. If there is a shortage of electricity, then the solution is not to shut down all the power consuming sectors. The government should introspect why there is a power shortage, despite Iran being so rich in energy sources such as natural gas and petroleum. Bitcoin is one of the few remaining forex sources for Iran, and they should think twice before taking these sort of measures.

We have seen so many FUDs lately and it is really frustrating. I think this should be enough already. Cryptocurrencies are already having a really unproductive period. There is no need to manipulate the market more, right?  Grin

Why is it that people tend to say "enough" like they have the power to control what governments or corporations say. I can say "enough of this already" but I can only say that straight in the face on someone who is my own level or stature, like a colleague at work or a friend or my parents. But saying "enough" to something you want to stop, but literally you know in your heart you cannot stop it is pure frustration and honestly I find it funny as well. We can simply rant all we want, but as long as these governments and corporations do their thing against Bitcoin, then there is nothing you can do but rant.

I don't really care about it. Many countries already ban bitcoin and many countries accept it. Many negative sentiments that spread now, I think it is mean that bitcoin price will go lower and lower. I already have plan to anticipate it, I am very careful to take action in trading now. I think there is a bull trap. It will be good if I can buy bitcoin at 20k price level. But don't be afraid mate, volatility is a common thing in cryptocurrency market. Our psychology is hardly tested in this market.
The fact they can be banned but they don't have totally have full control of bitcoin, people can still use bitcoin there anonymously and even trade-in P2P exchange. This is not new to me, there's always a country that bans bitcoin but right after how many months they will lift the ban knowing that they will not totally control it.

Just let them be, someday they will realize that instead of banning, acceptance and put regulation is much better. Government always finds ways how to tax cryptocurrency but the sad fact that decentralized nature will hardly seize it.

I don't know if this news is true or not, because I have searched for information from various forums and sources but did not find any news about it, at least reference input from where this news source is and can it be trusted or not because I know that Iran only bans mining bitcoin because of this impact on power outages there, in addition to this mining is also banned for only 4 months until September 22.
sources about the ban on bitcoin in iran if possible it is included so that I can add the latest information about bitcoin
You're right with that and there's one from CNBC that appeared quickly to my search result. The article was published last May 26. It was indicated on the OP that it's temporary due to that reason but he probably forgot that it's bitcoin mining.

I think you are wrong, get used to reading the news correctly because in Iran there is no ban on bitcoin. What currently exists in Iran is a ban on bitcoin mining because it resulted in power outages because the electricity supply was so wasteful that bitcoin mining was banned and even then, only 4 months were counted in the last few days until September.
get used to reading news and information thoroughly so that you do not spread false news because there is no ban on bitcoin in iran and this can be a hoax, my friend. at least if this is true please provide a clear source from which to get this news

Well, that span of banning mining activities could certainly affect the market price but that was not what I worried about, I care about the financial support that these miners might be in trouble. I mean, where they could get their daily necessities if that be going to happen, I hope they could back up more but during this covid-19 time, it was pretty challenging. And might be you're right, they will sell their mining equipment before they will resume their operation.

Your opinion is correct, miners will dump their crypto holdings to maintain warehousing, staffing and other costs. The market can freeze for a short time. I trust they will pass soon as they have been mining Bitcoin for a long time so they will be fine.

Most of the miners are going to sell their mining equipment and quit. Because if they can't mine Bitcoin for three months, then they can't sustain the operations. It becomes financially unviable. And also, there is no guarantee that such bans won't be imposed again in the future. But there will be a small section of the miners, who will continue with their business despite the ban. And it is this group which worries me the most. If they are caught, then you know the harsh punishments they may receive under the Iranian law.
