Title: Iranians looking to bitcoins Post by: Kaiji on July 15, 2013, 10:08:30 AM I am surprised that Iranians haven't looked to putting their savings into bitcoins considering the problems their currency has had this past year or two. Is there anyone who knows more about the situation there?

Is there anyone who knows more about the situation there? Probably no one from Iran here....my uncle is from Iran, maybe i can ask him when i see him next time, but i doubt he ever heard of bitcoin :D Title: Re: Iranians looking to bitcoins Post by: coinprize on July 15, 2013, 05:21:12 PM It's hard for us to identify who buy or sell BTC.
Say nothing of to find out their nationalities. It also a reason for some bitcoiners to hold bitcoin. ::) Title: Re: Iranians looking to bitcoins Post by: Stephen Gornick on July 15, 2013, 07:20:06 PM I am surprised that Iranians haven't looked to putting their savings into bitcoins considering the problems their currency has had this past year or two.
