Many analysts are already calling this the birth of a kind of Petro-Bitcoin

Yes, I saw this news and since such news was published, the price of Bitcoin has started increasing and today the price of Bitcoin has increased by about 5.5%. Iran is a very brave country and they have different strategies due to which they dare to fight directly against powerful countries like Israel and America. Taking fees for the Strait of Hormuz in Bitcoin can also be one of their strategies because Iran was not very serious about Bitcoin before. Iran may have a plan to defeat America and change the petro dollar system and at that time there will be a big impact on the dollar and there will be inflation of the dollar. And at that time every country will start looking for something alternative. Maybe at that time Bitcoin will be used for various important purposes so Iran is already preparing for that. This is just my addiction I don't know why it seems like this is going to happen

I do not think this discussion should be on the thread. That thread is about yuan and stable coins but this thread is about bitcoin included. What we want most about this is bitcoin and not any centralized fiat and centralized stable coins.

But the discussion can continue on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5579756.msg66595309#msg66595309 which is also about bitcoin.

@BitGoba
It is better you lock this thread for people to avoid repetitive posts.

All i think is as long as they supported for the use of fiat and crypto irrespective, we can still discuss it broadly, because it does not make sense at all if they purported the acceptance of stable coin without having bitcoin in consideration as well, but either the way, i don't even know if the Iranians have been accepting taxes on this route before now or it was until after the war begun? while am still not sure if that reopening or acceptance of crypto is the major reason why Bitcoin has pumped recently.
