Actually, the terrorist regime has already been heavily mining Bitcoin to circumvent sanctions, making around $3 billion per year. Iran has been the cheapest place in the world to mine, with costs around $1,300 per BTC, giving them a huge advantage.
Before the war started, Iran controlled roughly 8% of the global mining network. So in reality, it’s the opposite .. they didn’t ignore Bitcoin, they leaned into it heavily as another revenue stream.
When you hear reports about electricity infrastructure being targeted, it’s referring to strategic military-linked energy grids which also include large-scale mining operations. These mining facilities are critical for the regime, especially alongside selling discounted oil to China, another major workaround to sanctions.
Iran will likely return as a major Bitcoin mining leader.. but hopefully under the right leadership in the future, not under a terrorist regime using it to fund repression and instability.
I’ve been a longtime follower of yours, you’re incredibly intelligent and one of the best analysts out there. I’m also speaking as an Iranian: I know what President Trump says can sometimes sound extreme or even crazy, but only Iranians truly understand the language he’s using. He’s playing mind games and speaking the same language the regime has used for 47 years: and that’s something most people in the West completely miss.
For instance, chanting “Death to America” for 47 years, threatening to wipe Israel off the map, the hostage crisis, and so much more.. this has been their language from day one (1979). They started this conflict 47 years ago, and terrorists never negotiate. The only way to make them back down is by using the same language they understand.
President Trump started addressing the Islamic regime nearly 10 years ago when he first became president. After exiting the crazy nuclear deal under the Obama administration, what followed was a decade-long, meticulous effort to weaken the regime step by step (by eliminating key players in the military space). Now, he is finishing the job at the regime’s weakest point.
While many in the Western world call him a lunatic, most Iranians see a turning point for Iran, the closest moment to freedom in decades.
@Nervana_1 buying time: time for the markets to calm down, and time for Marines and other assets to move into position around Kharg Island before the final push and surrender.
Here below is an example to understand how tariffs work and why they can be beneficial.
The new 160%+ tariffs on Chinese active anode material (AAM) are not just a tax; they’re a corrective tool against dumped, state‑subsidized imports that have been priced below cost. By raising the landed cost of Chinese AAM, the U.S. is giving domestic producers real breathing room to invest, scale, and compete instead of being undercut by artificial pricing.
Tariffs like these:
Protect nascent industries (here, U.S. anode‑material and graphite‑processing projects),
Correct market distortion when one country floods the market with subsidized goods, and
Shift incentives toward domestic and allied‑sourced supply chains that support jobs, innovation, and energy‑security.
In practice, this means more capital flows into U.S. battery‑material plants and recycling‑based anode routes, instead of being funneled into a single foreign supplier that already dominates the node. That’s not protectionism for its own sake; it’s industrial‑policy discipline to keep the clean‑energy transition from becoming dependent on a geopolitical rival.

What are you talking about? Why are you diminishing the only real help that reached us during the blackouts? Iranians were fighting bare‑handed, with no internet, and no outside protection. Have you been there? Have you seen people risking prison just to plug in a Starlink dish on a rooftop?
You have hundreds of thousands of followers and you’re acting like this is just another “regime‑change operation” on a chessboard. It's not a game, show some humanity. Show some brain, not just nuts. You’re supposed to be a professor, act like one.
@NiohBerg The prince sitting across from two lowkey evil women, one an Ayatollah mouthpiece, the other a fake exiled puppet who has never worked a day in her life. What has she actually done in her life to deserve a seat at the same table as our prince?
The funniest way to ‘short France’ is to cut its arbitrage on over 10 African countries. The CFA franc system still lets France lock African reserves, peg their currencies, and keep them exporting raw materials while importing French goods. If you actually decouple that setup, Paris feels the squeeze. "Fo shur" lol
