An Iranian Bitcoiner's week, from El Salvador:
Here, the National Bitcoin Office is hosting Bitcoin Histórico in the National Palace on Nov 11–12, and every ticket, from the $21 locals' pass up, is payable in bitcoin only. The IMF meanwhile says no further state accumulation is expected beyond documented donations, so El Salvador is a messier story than either side admits. Still: a government running a public conference in sats.
Back home, OONI probes this week reached Tor 64% of the time, down from 78% the week before (BreakHub's W45 digest), and Tehran saw local outages on Nov 3. People there aren't debating ticket payment rails; they're debating whether the next cut will last 88 days again.
That gap is why I write Bitcoin and privacy lessons in Farsi.
Question for anyone heading to Bitcoin Histórico or the circular-economies summit in El Zonte (Nov 19–20): what's one thing you'd want a Farsi-speaking newcomer to learn from El Salvador's experience, good or bad? I'll turn the best answers into a Farsi lesson, with credit.
