Iranial Rial collapses, Buy Bitcoin!

[livingfree]

People keep arguing whether Bitcoin 'works' when the internet is off but that's a weird standard. When the internet is off banks don't work, cards don't work, ATMs don't work either. No one says fiat failed forever because electricity went out. Bitcoin isn't a magic survival tool it's a capital escape tool. It's not for buying bread during blackouts it's for making sure you're not wiped out when the lights come back on. Expecting it to fix a war zone is missing the point.

That's true, most things don't work now without the internet.

And the point that I am saying here is that if someone is a saver and they have their money kept on fiat, they need to think again.

Because once a financial crisis happens or another war happens, even they've got some cash things will be different. Everything is almost unusable by that time including the internet, telcos, etc.

Iranial Rial collapses, Buy Bitcoin!

Does it make sense to send a message like this to people who are in a life-threatening situation and do not yet have access to the internet (everything except satellite internet is turned-off)?

Besides, anyone who is in that country and owns BTC or another cryptocurrency can only look at their wallet because they can't do anything without the internet. In such situations, everything digital is worthless.

I mean no harm in this and I pray for their safety. Since we can only do so much, what I am point out is about one situation that can trigger wherever we are and the money that we have if it's kept in fiat.

I wasn't aware that Iranians get along well with the Turks. I am not that well informed I admit, but isn't there a rivalry between the two nations or is that only on the political / geo strategical level and not among the citizens themselves? It is good to hear of course.

Iran is our largest neighbor. There are 30 million people of Turkish origin living there. There are also half a million Iranian origin living here. Throughout history, we have had good relations with Iran. Our border with them has not changed since 1639. Even though there are differences between the two countries at the level of governance, there is no conflict between the peoples. The Iranian people deserve better. It is the people who suffer because of incompetent administrations. This is not just an economic problem either. There is state interference in every aspect of life. This environment of pressure that has lasted for years now needs to come to an end.

I believe something like 20% of the people in Iran speak Turkish.  Outside of Turkey, that's where you'll find Turkish people.

I am amazed a country so large as Iran could have this sort of collapse of their currency.  I can't even imagine what it would be like trying to live there right now.  I hope they're able to get through this crisis quickly.

The real solution for Iran is a regime change. Iran has been defeated in world politics because of its nuclear ambitions. Despite its vast oil reserves, its citizens are living in poverty. It is isolated from the world. Russia and China will not come to their rescue. The result of America efforts to destroy Iran financially is the collapse of its currency. The process of isolating Iran from every payment gateway in the world has long been successful.

Trump recent announcements will put Iran under even more pressure. He has announced that he will impose a 25% tariff on all countries that trade with Iran effective immediately.

All began with their Islamic Revolution in 1979 and decades later, human rights no longer exists there. I don't mind who is a leader of a country but if his governance and policies destroy human rights, consider women like animals, I can not support such leaders. Khamenei's supreme leadership in Iran needs to be changed for a possible better future of Iranians including Iranian women.

The quickly freefall and completely value loss of Iran rial is very shocked but if the Islamic state and regime in Iran collapses, their nation will recover from it, with support from Israel and the USA as well as other nations in the Middle East and around the world. In decades, Khamenei built up his nation is like an enemy of many other nations from Middle East to global, while inside Iran, he treated his citizens very terrible.

This is what the Donald has planned hehehe. He will replace the leader with another leader that he controls. The Donald's American roadmap is not the speculated self isolation for America. It is the isolation of America's competitors for world power. America is changing the leaders of the allies of China and Russia hehehehehe.

In any case, this Polymarket trader is speculating that America will do a military strike very much soon! I am not quite certain on the timezone.



A brand new account on crypto predictions market provider Polymarket put $40,000 into a bet that the U.S. will strike Iran by the end of January 14.

The Pentagon is currently weighing its options on how to strike Iran, with preparation underway on a possible military intervention in the coming hours or days, and Iran is closing its airspace to all commercial traffic.

Yes.. one after another the American heads of state who have come to power have destroyed the allies of Russia and China and put their own rulers in power. The latest is Trump removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power and claimed to be the acting ruler. Before that, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was overthrown and replaced by the American-backed Ahmed al-Sharaa. In every country in the world, important allies of China and Russia are being targeted and their rulers are being changed.

Iran is preparing to counter the US attack, but this will seriously disrupt the stability of the Middle East. Israel will join them and there is a fear of spreading unrest throughout the region. The bet that the poly market traders have made may ultimately succeed, but Saudi Arabia has assured Iran that they will not allow America to use their soil to attack. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are trying to mediate with America to avoid a possible attack.

What happened in Iran is not only a consequence of the country's leaders, but also a consequence of a unipolar world dominated by dictator who abuse their power.

Therefore, regime change is only a temporary solution because if the new regime does not meekly submit to the Us, then nothing will change for Iran, and they may even be wiped off the world map

Not just Iran, but the whole world need a long term solution. The world need to become more multipolar instead of a unipolar world dominated by imperialist and fascist powers who set their own rules and force the world to obey them

In the context of increasing geopolitical instability, the importance of Bitcoin is becoming increasingly apparent. But be wary of its short term volatility

[X-ray]

If anyone out there still saying bitcoin don't have use I'd be baffled.

The example is right here, from venezuela to iran, bitcoin can be used to save your wealth when your centralized fiat money is falling apart, bitcoin is there to save the day.

I think at this point everyone in conflicting state or country already understand that there's alternative for them that can preserve their wealth which is bitcoin, latest news I heard bitcoin is priced really high in iran right now.

Meaning me and my measly $25 stake in this market will finally win a trade yaaaay 

On a more serious note....

A video has actually emerged that allegedly shows Iranian authorities seizing a large number of devices that were smuggled into the country. However, videos coming from that country shows that some people still have access to satellite internet. Anyway, it seems that a US military action is only a matter of time, as thousands of civilians have already been killed, and thousands are in detention.

These dumbasses have time to seize equipment and threaten strikes on other countries' bases and also at Israel, but they don't have time to fix their own country.

Probably because they know the end is near.

[mrquackquack]

Where do you purchases Iranian Rial for those prices

[ZAINmalik75]

It might have lost more value recently, but Iran's currency losing value is not a new thing in general because Iran as a country has a lot of sactions and bans from the UN so they are basically not allowed to do international trades, or some specific trades, etc. I'm not completey sure but I remember something like that about it, and I know it's true but I don't know how it works. Iran is a country with a lot of natural resources, so the country has a good economy for its people and it provides everything for them, but since there are hardly any international relations or trade treaties, they face this problem with their currency.

If someone has a few thousand dollars and want to become a billionaire, they should move to Iran.  Well, jokes apart, it's true that people from there should definitely start buying Bitcoin with their money, because if their currency has lost this much value, it could lose more, and soon enough, $1 alone will be worth millions in iranian currency and then they will regret why they didn't invest their money somewhere and today they would have the same amount or even more.

For what would you need these, per chance?

I just don't see it as an option to consider, even..

I don't know when the recording was made, but if someone did a sloppy job then it wasn't difficult for the authorities to seize it. If someone had intended to smuggle so many devices, they should have divided the shipment into several smaller ones - that's why I say the job was done sloppily.

As for Israel, haven't you heard that they made an agreement with them not to attack each other until further notice? Israel is allegedly preparing an invasion of Lebanon, so they don't have time to "war" with the Iranians.

I mean no harm in this and I pray for their safety. Since we can only do so much, what I am point out is about one situation that can trigger wherever we are and the money that we have if it's kept in fiat.

In the current situation in Iran, there is no point in having fiat or cryptocurrencies because both are worthless, a little gold, silver, or anything else to exchange is the only thing that has value.

That's true.

What's important now for the people who are heavily affected there is to find food, survive until the protests and ruckus is done there.

Their money has no longer value as of now and any investments that they have won't be in use until everything settles and peace is back.

That is great to hear actually, I just learned this from you. As I said I thought the frictions between the two countries are pretty big, but even better if the people get along well with each other. I think that is what's most important first and foremost.

The Iranian administration isn't incompetent. They are brutal and unworldly. They can't be compared to Turkey in that regard with all their death penalties and hanging people and all the other suppressing stuff they base their power on. I wish for the Iranian people to fight their way towards freedom, but the brutality might once again win against the peace seeking population.
