In January 2025, as a prior action for the IMF program (board approval 26 February 2025, PR25/043), the law was reformed: private shops may accept bitcoin; they no longer have to. Taxes are paid in dollars.\n\nI grew up under a state that decides which money you may use and whether the internet stays on. Living here, the useful lesson isn't \"the government made bitcoin succeed.\" It's that a circular economy can keep going after the mandate is dropped — people still pay in sats if both sides want to, and a law is not the same thing as a culture.\n\nI'm teaching that distinction in Farsi, next to a line-by-line whitepaper walkthrough (today: section 9, combining and splitting value — a wallet is a pile of UTXOs plus change, not a bank balance).\n\n#asknostr — if you've taught Bitcoin where the legal status shifted under people's feet (legal tender added, then made voluntary; capital controls; bank freezes), what sentence actually helped beginners separate \"the state allows it\" from \"I can still use it\"? I'll credit useful replies and adapt them into Farsi. In-thread only.\n\n#bitcoin #nostr #asknostr #farsi #elsalvador #iran"}
