Evidently Israeli jet was shot down while bombing an Iranian missile site in Syria. Israel responded by bombing the shit out of Damascus. All out conflict (if you dont consider it this already) could be within the next day or two. This is going to cause crazy capital controls and a total implosion of the remaining banking infrastructure in Syria. Will this cause syrians to flee to the anonymity, statelessness, and relative stability (I use that term lightly) of btc? If only a few wealthy status quo individuals wanted to hedge the political risk to their fortunes, they could easily just park a few million in btc. Does anyone know how easy it is to purchase btc there?
EDIT: Found this, from sourgeforce "The specific list of sanctions that affect our users concern the transfer and export of certain technology to foreign persons and governments on the sanctions list. This means users residing in countries on the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanction list, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria, may not post content to, or access content available through, SourceForge.net. Last week, SourceForge.net began automatic blocking of certain IP addresses to enforce those conditions of use."
