OUCH!

have spent 39 years watching capital move across borders, through legal structures, and around obstacles that seemed permanent until they were not. I pioneered Shariah-compliant home finance in a US banking system that told me it could not be done. I watched petrodollar recycling reshape the 1970s global economy after the Arab oil embargo. I have seen every major geopolitical disruption of the last four decades.

Iran just taught the world that Bitcoin is a sharp-edged, geopolitical tool.
