How Iran Uses Bitcoin Mining to Evade Sanctions and “Export” Oil
Alternate headline: How Iran manages to maintain some semblance of an economy despite immoral sanctions.<p>Not a crypto person at all but I do remember when the last US president ripped up the Iran deal which afforded the International Atomic Energy Agency the right to inspect their operations and replaced it with... nothing. I think this is proof enough that all of the talk about Iran being a threat (to the US? to the world?) is vastly over hyped.<p>Now we’ve got warhawks, oil companies & the finance industry all working together with Iran as the bogeyman driving all their policies. Watch for Yellen or congress to drop some “bitcoin supports Iran” talking points any minute now.
