Every day I watch a country that used to be known for violence get known for safety and Bitcoin instead. It&#39;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&#39;s own site shows about 7,809 BTC (El Diario de Hoy, Oct 19), even though the IMF&#39;s Oct 1 review says no further accumulation is envisaged beyond documented donations.&#xA;&#xA;Meanwhile, 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.&#xA;&#xA;What I&#39;m doing about it: daily Farsi lessons on self-custody and privacy. Today&#39;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.&#xA;&#xA;Question for you: what&#39;s the single best beginner resource you&#39;d want translated into Farsi first? And if you&#39;ve taught Bitcoin in a low-connectivity place, what actually worked?&#xA;&#xA;#bitcoin #elsalvador #iran #nostr #asknostr</html></oembed>
