The Iranian rial keeps hitting fresh lows, and honestly, it's a textbook case of what happens when fiat currency loses credibility. As the local currency weakens, we're seeing the domino effect play out in real time—food prices climbing, purchasing power eroding, ordinary people scrambling to protect their savings.

This is exactly the kind of scenario that keeps driving people toward alternative assets. When your government-issued currency can't hold value, the hunt for something more stable becomes less of an ideological choice and more of survival economics.

It raises a bigger question: how many countries facing similar currency pressures are watching this play out? The inflation story isn't unique to Iran. Across emerging markets, we're seeing similar patterns—currency devaluation, import costs soaring, and populations seeking refuge in stores of value, whether that's gold, forex, or yes, decentralized assets.

For anyone tracking macro trends and their impact on asset allocation globally, this is worth paying attention to. These currency crises create the conditions where people seriously reconsider where they park their money.
