Iran accepts Bitcoin as payment for strait passage fees. Honestly, this feels like the most badass application of Bitcoin yet—playing the role of currency amidst such international conflicts. Other central banks might have no choice but to start holding some $BTC in the future. Physical gold is inconvenient to carry and use for payments; nothing beats $BTC for this. Neither the U.S. nor Iran truly trusts each other deep down, and there's Israel stirring things up in the middle. All the talks and fights—just more opportunities for swing trading.
