#战略性加仓BTC Iranian Rial is experiencing a shocking devaluation. From the early 1980s when 1 USD was equal to 70 Rials, to now 1 USD equals 1.4 million Rials—behind these numbers is the rapid erosion of ordinary people's wealth.



Since June this year, the Iranian currency has lost over 40% of its purchasing power under the dual pressures of regional tensions and internal economic stress. Street protests are growing louder, and public anger is directed at the central bank policymakers, leading the central bank governor to resign. Amid this profound trust crisis, an unexpected topic has repeatedly emerged—Bitcoin.

"When traditional monetary systems fail, Bitcoin offers a way for people worldwide to protect their wealth," describes a CEO of a major exchange, highlighting the role of crypto assets in extreme economic environments. This call resonates particularly strongly in the context of Iran. When a country's fiat currency depreciates to such an extent over decades, everyone must reconsider where to allocate their assets.

Interestingly, Iran's regulators show a somewhat contradictory attitude toward cryptocurrencies—they allow trading but impose layered restrictions. Authorities even encourage citizens to report unregistered Bitcoin mining activities. This "open yet restrictive" stance vividly reflects the tension and tug-of-war between traditional financial controls and decentralized assets. On one side, the local currency is collapsing; on the other, policies are trying to tighten control over digital assets. This contradictory scene is unlikely to be unique to Iran.

So the question is: for ordinary people, can Bitcoin truly serve as a safety net during economic turmoil? Iran's currency crisis is actually a real-world case study—about how to store value, maintain financial autonomy, and define asset boundaries. When a nation's monetary credit collapses and policy regulation and public interests diverge significantly, the appeal of decentralized assets becomes especially clear. This is not about the price fluctuations of a specific coin, but a re-examination of the age-old question—"Who will protect my wealth?"

1.4 million to 1 USD? The absurdity is even more outrageous than we imagined... The traditional financial system collapses like this, no wonder Iranians are starting to seriously consider BTC.

tbh the math on "btc as safety net during hyperinflation" doesn't actually check out when you run the numbers... volatility during crisis periods literally kills this narrative. seen this exact rationalization in 2021 before three major collapses

1.4 million to 1 USD... How desperate is that? No wonder everyone is rushing into the crypto space; the traditional financial system really can't save you.
