hmm....Now how does US administration respond. Now that a boogieman is officially using Crypto.
What is cryptocurrency
It's the currency found in krytas (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypt).
Archeologists sometimes find these silver coins under old churches from the middle ages
How did they get the coins under the church?

This article from Reuters (albeit with a different URL) was also later shared in a separate post, here on SN:

Still no better sources but here is a tweet supposedly by Vice Minister of Industry,Mine & Trade:
view on twitter.comInteresting to see the Reuters article - although there aren't many details. Preliminary rumours on Twitter are that the order is from El Salvador. Any idea where we can look for more information?
I am following rumors and gossip on Twitter and Reddit. Imo there is still no better place for leakers than Twitter.
I would actually agree believe it or not (although I would say Twitter & YouTube), however there is something that must be attached to that, evidence.
A twitter source can be better than a news source, if the Twitter source includes video of events occurring, pictures that can be verified are not photoshopped, or some other evidence that would be unreasonable to dispute.
Yes i completely agree that Twitter threads with videos or photos are a great source. Unfortunately, my normie friends and family tend to not believe anonymous cat accounts on the internet, and they prefer Reuters or NYT or Washington Post scammers 🤣
I mean, its okay not to believe anon cat accounts, but to disregard video evidence....
Hmm let's see how it goes. The iranians are playing the long game.
Long game for sure. They did start to mine in 2019. That's also why Bitcoin is the suspected "Cryptocurrency".
Politically they are smart. They don't answer to provocations and handling the JCPOA deal mess pretty well.

USA don't want the deal to pass of course, because it will allow Iran to trade with anyone.
Probably Bitcoin
In retrospect, it was inevitable.
In retrospect, it was inevitable.
No mention of to whom or for what, but one interesting bit is crystal clear here:
The GOVERNMENT of Iran is banning bitcoin for the masses while USING it for themselves.They're basically backwards from most countries where the people are using it and the govt thinks its silly.
I love how they've approved 1000 miners (where these coins came from) but had to shut down 6000 unapproved miners. This shows that the people there want it, but are simply not able to use it without govt cracking down on them.
