Can this confirmed that indeed Iran is already into bitcoin now as a hedge specially as fears of a total war with US?

it just confirms there are some private bitcoin miners in iran large enough to get on the government's radar now. 2 farms with 1000 miners doesn't exactly constitute mainstream adoption or anything.

clearly, the government doesn't like what's going on either. Tongue

D you think they will mine for there own now with the machines?

interesting thought. confiscate the machines, start mining bitcoin reserves for the government. why not? i've always thought this would eventually happen---governments holding bitcoin reserves. it still feels pretty early though.
