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.

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.
