It's easier for people to get Bitcoin, Iran could deal with the cleaning / mixing themselves after. This is already going to create friction so keeping it lower might help?

Right? I was like dang you're already half way there lol.

The reason though is that they probably don't want to discourage payments because I have seen businesses refuse to use Monero in ransomware attacks because their insurance agreement complicates payout on a fundamentally untraceable currency. Even if Bitcoin is technically decentralized, they can report the transaction and specific currency blocks to whatever federal agency is responsible for fraud.

Still, why not offer both and put a 5% discount on Monero.

Yeah and writer has no idea what they are talking about. One of the core characteristics of Bitcoin is being publicly traceable

It's all about whether Binance lets them cash out or not, but mixing within BRICS is sure to make it clean enough, as Binance getting/keeping sovereign clients is good for Binance, and not worth appeasing US BS to turn it away.

That's gonna upset Donny Boy

Reminder that bitcoin is not now nor has it ever been anonymous.

It also means that if there's a secondary deal trump's Bitcoin account get it's cut right after Iran takes theirs

Just make sure you don't redeem them

They're doing both.

Richard Teng?

At the size of transactions they'd be doing, it'd probably be worth it to set a high fee so that it gets picked up and processed faster. Should still be peanuts compared to the value of cargo these tankers are carrying

It takes 10 minutes to get a single confirmation, but I'm assuming that it takes more than 10 minutes for a ship to transit this waterway, so it wouldn't matter.

The ships can wait, I guess.

A couple minutes?

Layer 2 networks like the lightning network operated in the milliseconds time frame.

Purchasing drugs for yourself shouldn't be a crime, so it's awesome that cryptocurrencies exist for this purpose.

Technically it still is a crime since charging money for access to navigable waters is a violation of international law.

The (non-financial) crime is the best part.

I love taking estrogen I bought offa onion sites :)

Why would they ever listen to that dumbass, who's involved with the countries attacking them?

That shit only works in white idiots

People tried that, it failed. It's too volatile.

It's basically a way for people to think they are being sneaky and shit when it's all trackable anyways.

and so also for Trump

But there are very good reasons why Bitcoin is very far from mass adoption as an actual currency.

The problem is the volatility. It would destroy most people.

People have always known that crypto who is very good for crime.

it's a fucking toll you dingus those are iranian waters

they're uneducated in this regard
