Why is Crypto important? You need to read this story about a family that advocated visiting a foreign country, before the article about it is gone. https://www.theguardian.com/world/iran-blog/2015/aug/07/the-family-behind-the-iran-is-great-van-what-happened-to-us-was-serendipity Unfortunately their website is gone already, certainly for their campaign giving them more trouble then expected. The article is the best pick I found for showing you this memorable initiative. I once wanted to support it through their paypal with just some bucks and my account immediately got blocked completely. It took a lot of emails and phone minutes to clear the case not being anything illegal or dangerous. I never had expected to experience an embargo like that for a paypal transaction. Later even the incident from the story in London happened. I wished they had used Crypto back then for being censorship-resistant, just as I wished the journalist who still have this article available for us were aware of this and asking for support through #BCH This is an answer to @marcfalzon's question on use-cases for Crypto at https://noise.cash/post/1jpm2629 I highly recommend you visiting his blog and vlogs as well!

I live here :D It's odd that they didn't visit Shiraz ... However here everything is great except government :D
"However here everything is great except government." Replace "here" with the name of any country on earth, and that sentence will be true.
Excellent post! (Excellent article from The Guardian too, by the way.) Paypal absolutely sucks! They are WORSE than a bank, because not being a chartered bank, they can get away with locking up your money longer for less coherent reasons. Use Paypal only as an absolute last resort. Yes, this is why we need crypto, to get around censorship and shitty companies like Paypal. "Human beings are members of a whole, in creation of one essence and soul.” That kinda sums it all up nicely.
