We have always said it but people will not believe that fiat is not what it should be, government will only use it to take advantage of people's money.

There is no other way for Iranian society to save themselves from inflation and protect themselves from the current economic crisis, except: returning to Bitcoin, only Bitcoin can save Iranian society at this time, the government cannot do much.
For those that do not want volatile coins, stable coins will be very good but for those that want store of value or investment, bitcoin will be very good.

The government created inflation in their own favour but which could be a disadvantages for citizens that does not know what to do but keep their money in bank. Iranian protested in Iran’s capital after the rial slid to record lows, prompting Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley said that bitcoin could help Iranians protect their savings.

This is not just the problem, the problem is that many other countries are suffering from inflation. Some countries may not suffer from significant inflation today but how about tomorrow. In long years, fiat become more worthless.

Bitcoin is a store of value.
The government prints lots of money and creates inflation when they can't do their duties well and are full of corruption. Local currency has been inflating very much in my country in the last 13 years and recently, the local government caught the previous prime minister, prosecutors and many other high-ranking politicians, almost all of them and these politicians have been on their roles for years. It basically proves that in the last 12 years, the country was in total corruption. It's still in a huge corruption because the country is owned by one rich oligarch, it's basically his property because he is untouchable and does whatever he wants.

It's normal and necessary to have a slight inflation because it will force money holders to invest money into something, to create a new business and create new jobs for people but high inflation is not welcome. Bitcoin is not a saviour in this case. We need to work hard, beat corruption, beat nepotism, invest in education and work on improving the economy.

Bitcoin might fail at protecting the savings of the Iranians in the short term. This year is expected to be bearish for BTC.
I also don't believe that the Iranians could ever use BTC or other crypto for their daily purchases. AFAIK, Iran is one of the most anti-crypto countries around the world. Crypto can serve as an alternative in cases of collapsing fiat currencies, but it's role shouldn't be overestimated.
We need to make crypto even more user-friendly, so that all the not-so-tech savvy and elderly people see the benefits and true utility of the crypto world.
This is why gold is still the best safe haven due to its stability but we can still benefit in investing in Bitcoin if we can perfectly time our moves and buy at the lowest possible price because once it starts recovering, our profit also shoots up. Inflation might attack anytime and there is no point of return here, unlike to Bitcoin that even if it dumps after we buy but as long as we continue hodling, we still can recover later on and even make more money. People change as they say, so we don't know what if the Iranian government change their mind someday and now fully adopt crypto on their country like what others did? So I won't lose hope.
