Nobody really knows why Iran is being bombed. Iran mines Bitcoin at $1,320 per coin and sells it at $68,000. A profit margin of 50 times with electricity subsidized by the state. 700,000 mining platforms. An underground cryptocurrency economy worth $7.8 billion. All managed by the IRGC. It is the only source of income that sanctions cannot affect. The last time the U.S. attacked Iran, Bitcoin's hash rate dropped 15% overnight. It wasn't a side effect; it was a proof of concept. Trump created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. His son launched a Bitcoin mining company. He wants the United States to be the "world capital of cryptocurrencies." You don't become the cryptocurrency capital by competing with a country that mines Bitcoin for $1,320. Bomb their network.
