Iran is looking to toll the Strait of Hormuz, something that could make Iran thrive overnight.

Over 100+ ships on average cross through Hormuz DAILY under normal conditions.

They are looking to charge $2M per ship, you do the numbers.

But why am I telling you all this?

Because what investors are quietly noticing in this headline is a small and under discussed detail.

There is a report from the Financial Times stating that Iran might use BITCOIN and YUAN to collect tolls at Hormuz.

This aligns perfectly, Iran does not want to use Dollars because the American system can seize those.

However, if they charge in BITCOIN or YUAN, no one can touch that money.

Now do the numbers, we are talking billions in inflow into Bitcoin, just through the Strait of Hormuz.

Only time will tell us more.

BTC-1,62%
