Hindi porket iiwasan nila yung pag gamit ng sariling nilang fiat currency ay automatic Bitcoin or cryptocurrency na kaagad ang ating iniisip. So naghanap ako ng update about Iran and to my surprise hanggang ngayon wala pa din silang lockdown na nangyayari as of today and iniisip nila yung economi and political disadvantage pag ginawa ito, yung news nila about sa banknotes naman ay yun nga hindi crypto ang naging solution nila kung hindi debit cards to promot "contactless payments" which I think isn't really that a big improvement kumpara sa pagbabayad ng paper money kasi may nangyayari pa ding contact at pasahan. IMO their government needs to step up a bit lalo na nasa top 6 sila in total number of deaths.
Iran is suffering the worst outbreak of the virus in the Middle East. Using cash there is common, but in recent weeks many people have avoided it and banks have announced that they will not accept cash from customers. Iranians often have multiple debit cards but cash is widely used in small-scale transactions, like buying bread in bakeries or leaving a tip. Many people have started even being careful in how they hand over debit cards, as contactless payment methods haven’t caught on there.
