Issue #491: This is how you step up
Share

In reaction to recent sanctions against Iran, LocalBitcoins decided to pull their services from the country. Leaving Iranians with fewer options to acquire Bitcoin, a very powerful tool for a population that has been oppressed for decades on end by a Theocracy and outsiders hellbent on curbing the power of that Theocracy outside of its borders. Luckily, there seem to be principled men left in this world who are willing to step up when others are forced the bend the knee.

The team at HodlHodl has reminded Iranians who wish to acquire bitcoin that they can do so on their exchange while offering a fee discount and services translated to Farsi. A beacon of hope in a world that seems less principled by the day.
