Every day I watch a country that used to be known for violence get known for safety and Bitcoin instead. It's not a fairy tale: under the 2025 IMF deal, accepting bitcoin became voluntary for merchants and Chivo was handed to a private operator. But the national reserve still keeps growing. The government's own site shows about 7,809 BTC (El Diario de Hoy, Oct 19), even though the IMF's Oct 1 review says no further accumulation is envisaged beyond documented donations.\n\nMeanwhile, back home, Iranians are dealing with throttled internet and ID checks just to reach the outside web. Two countries, two very different relationships between the state and your money.\n\nWhat I'm doing about it: daily Farsi lessons on self-custody and privacy. Today's lesson came straight from a reply here: offline signing (build the tx anywhere, sign on an air-gapped device, broadcast from whatever link works). Thank you, Nostr.\n\nQuestion for you: what's the single best beginner resource you'd want translated into Farsi first? And if you've taught Bitcoin in a low-connectivity place, what actually worked?\n\n#bitcoin #elsalvador #iran #nostr #asknostr"}
