🚨 IRAN JUST WENT DARK — IS BITCOIN NEXT?! 😱⚡
Iran pulled the plug on the entire internet amid massive nationwide protests, and the crypto community is buzzing with one big question:
“Does this kill Bitcoin mining there?”
The real answer: Nope — but it’s still interesting to watch.
Iran was once a mining powerhouse, but now it’s only ~4-5% of global hashrate. An internet blackout won’t instantly stop the rigs — large farms keep hashing as long as electricity flows.
What it does hit:
👉 Delayed pool syncs
👉 Payout issues
👉 Downtime for smaller/underground ops
👉 Extra headaches for operators
Worst case? Iran offline drops <5% of total network power.
$BTC survived China banning ~50% in 2021 and came back stronger — this is peanuts in comparison.
Key takeaways?
🧩 Mining chases cheap power → often lands in volatile spots
🧩 Hashrate keeps shifting to stable, regulated countries
🧩 Iran’s slice has been shrinking for years anyway
Bottom line: Bitcoin is NOT in trouble.
This blackout just reminds us how insanely resilient and decentralized the network is. 💪₿
#Bitcoin ignores governments.
Bitcoin ignores shutdowns.
Bitcoin just keeps ticking. 🚀
