Iran

It's pretty cool to see crypto being used for legitimate things like bypassing sanctions but it would have been so much better if they used Monero so the transactions couldn't be traced.

I genuinely think there's an error here somewhere and the FT dude is just not well versed in this field and inserted Bitcorn by himself.

Iran isn't stupid. Accepting fees in Bitcorn is stupid.

@goat Yes,the world needs to stop using the $Dollar as international pay method! It is the same when we want to buy cryptocurrencies..still most of them are buyed-sold with the $USD.

@H1XMR

Actually I think the official Iranian guy said "Bitcoin". But idk. maybe it's the only thing that's not fiatcoin with enough liquidity and availability? As I heard they are mining btc, for a long time now.

But they will try other things. Iran Defense Company accepts Monero for Weapons & spies "payed by online wallet" lol. Maybe they already use xmr to pay for spies
