Iran could become the biggest bitcoin buyer on earth.
Iran charges $2M in bitcoin per ship to cross the Strait of Hormuz — at $72K per btc, $2M ÷ $72K ≈ 27.78 btc a ship.
By 10:00 BST on 10 April only 15 ships had been tracked through the strait since the ceasefire — vs ~138 ships/day before the 28 Feb scrap.
