🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷 BITCOIN IS DECENTRALIZED. BUT IT CAN BE "ARMED".
Iran is one of the most vivid examples of how crypto works under pressure: protests, crisis, falling national currency, restrictions, and the fear of "I won't be able to withdraw my money tomorrow".
In such an environment, people turn to btc and stablecoins not because it's "trendy". But because it becomes a means of survival:
- to preserve savings when fiat is melting
- to receive transfers from loved ones without banks
- to bypass restrictions and blocks
- to keep money where it can't be taken away at the push of a button
But there is also a downside.
Crypto helps not only citizens. It can also be useful for the state - for circumventing sanctions, alternative settlements, and controlling flows through exchanges and large structures.
And here is the main conclusion: blockchain is neither "for freedom" nor "for control". It is neutral. It empowers whoever knows how to use it.
The question is always the same: who holds the tool and for what purpose.
