just another shitpost from news.bitcoin.com, the are officially taking information out of their a$$ each time they publish a new article!
As you see Iran has suffered a lot in the past due to US sanctions.Now,governer of central bank of iran has said that iran would eliminate the use of US dollar within the country.
this is bullshit and a misinterpretation of a different news. and it has nothing to do with bitcoin.
Bitcoin is quietly becoming valuable in iran as they could be easily spent abroad by their citizens.
bitcoin has been valuable here from early 2012-2013 and there has been many miners back then and the number is growing once again these days.
and as for users there are a lot of them, mostly using bitcoin as a currency and some as investment and for trading.
Their citizens use localbitcoins and a market place called coinava.
localbitcoins is not really that much popular we use other peer 2 peer methods directly with a bank transfer or cash or other methods.
and coinava is not a name i have ever heard and last time i checked it out, it seemed very shady and mostly dead.
and just FYI that website is currently reporting price as $1313 to sell and $1467 to buy, if that is not screaming scam i don't know what does!
Moreover a shoe company named persian leather company is a bitcoin only business.
they just googled bitcoin+Iran and copy paste the first thing that came up. good job bitcoin.com!
we have been for years!
