The addresses are public. As of Nov 2 they hold about 7,823 BTC, and you can watch roughly one coin a day arrive (the IMF says recent additions come from private donations, not public money).\n\nBack home, nobody outside a few offices knows what the central bank really holds. \"Trust us\" is the whole policy.\n\nThat contrast is the lesson I most want Farsi speakers to feel: don't trust, verify. Not as a slogan, but as a habit you can do on a phone in two minutes.\n\nQuestion for Nostr: what's the simplest \"verify it yourself\" exercise you've used to teach a total beginner? A block explorer lookup, checking a wallet signature, something offline? I'm collecting ideas for a Farsi verification mini-course."}
