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.&#xA;&#xA;I grew up under a state that decides which money you may use and whether the internet stays on. Living here, the useful lesson isn&#39;t &#34;the government made bitcoin succeed.&#34; It&#39;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.&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;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).&#xA;&#xA;#asknostr — if you&#39;ve taught Bitcoin where the legal status shifted under people&#39;s feet (legal tender added, then made voluntary; capital controls; bank freezes), what sentence actually helped beginners separate &#34;the state allows it&#34; from &#34;I can still use it&#34;? I&#39;ll credit useful replies and adapt them into Farsi. In-thread only.&#xA;&#xA;#bitcoin #nostr #asknostr #farsi #elsalvador #iran</html></oembed>
