🇮🇷 The Iranian Rial just hit a new all-time low.
Put this in perspective: $400 USD now makes you a billionaire in local currency terms.
This is what currency collapse looks like in real time. When a national currency loses this much value, it's not just numbers on a screen — it's people's savings evaporating, import costs exploding, and the entire economic fabric unraveling.
For anyone watching global macro, Iran is a textbook case of what happens when:
1. Geopolitical sanctions cut off access to international banking
2. Central bank credibility erodes completely
3. Capital controls trap citizens with no exit
The exchange rate tells you everything about confidence. When your currency needs a billion units to equal a few hundred dollars, you're past the point of monetary policy fixes.
This is why people turn to $BTC and stablecoins when local currencies fail. Not speculation — survival.
