Iran Just Proved Bitcoin's Killer Use Case

About this episode

The episode discusses how Iran's use of Bitcoin for toll collection demonstrates its practical use case amidst economic challenges.

For 17 years, the critics said Bitcoin had no use case. Then Iran turned to Bitcoin to collect billions in tolls on ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz. In this video I break down why every other form of money failed and Bitcoin didn't. Also why "Bitcoin is for criminals" is the laziest argument on the internet, and why the same Bitcoin the regime uses to dodge sanctions is what ordinary Iranians use to escape 50% inflation. 🔐 Secure your Bitcoin with BitBox — Bitcoin-only, open source, Swiss-made.👉 http://bitbox.swiss/satstacker | Code: SATSTACKERValue 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.
