The renewed outbreak of war should drive people toward<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-are-cryptocurrencies-explanation-for-beginners\/\"> cryptocurrencies<\/a>, the 61-year-old argues. He believes two coins in particular could prove useful for people in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of February, the US and Israel shelled Iran, sparking a war in the conflict-ridden region. Although US President Donald Trump promised an abrupt end from the outset, the war has not yet been brought to an end.<\/p>\n<p>Blockchain data quickly showed that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/news-en\/bitcoin-price-with-new-strength-how-the-iran-war-is-affecting-it\/\"> demand for Bitcoin among Iranians<\/a> had surged explosively. Shortly after the outbreak of war, crypto exchanges recorded a rise in withdrawals of almost 700%.<\/p>\n<p>Szabo is convinced by this development. For many people, it makes sense to invest in cryptocurrencies now to make their finances more resilient in this exceptional situation.<\/p>\n<p>The crypto legend recommends two specific cryptocurrencies. Alongside market leader<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-is-bitcoin-the-btc-cryptocurrency-explained-simply\/\"> Bitcoin<\/a>, he also recommends using the largest privacy coin, Monero.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere are currently quite a few people in the Middle East who\u2014if they were smart\u2014would convert a large portion of their assets held with trusted third parties into Bitcoin or Monero,\u201d Szabo wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"x-alias-twitter-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"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\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-b brlbs-cmpnt-cb-x\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/cb-twitter-main.png')\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\">\n<p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently seeing a placeholder content of <strong>X<\/strong>.

Years ago, one of his statements about Monero caused a stir in the community. When he was asked about Monero\u2019s usefulness<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NickSzabo4\/status\/1347088215941861377\"> on X in 2021<\/a>, the cryptographer had positive words for the privacy coin.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMonero is a very good complement to Bitcoin in terms of privacy; both are good means of payment,\u201d the American commented at the time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Szabo enjoys a high reputation in the crypto scene, as he is considered one of Bitcoin\u2019s pioneers. In 1998, he introduced a digital payment system called Bit Gold. In the 1990s, he also developed the concept of smart contracts, which later had a powerful influence on the crypto market and is central to many cryptos\u2014such as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-is-ethereum-and-how-does-it-work-basics-for-beginners\/\"> Ethereum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The American is convinced by Bitcoin because of its neutrality and independence. The Bitcoin network and the cryptocurrency BTC are not dependent on government influence. Thanks to its international spread, the network is very robust.<\/p>\n<p>A cryptocurrency like Bitcoin can therefore provide a degree of financial security in crisis regions. However, in his posts Szabo indirectly criticizes Bitcoin\u2019s transparency. While Bitcoin transactions can be seen and analyzed by the public, Monero transactions remain secret.<\/p>\n<p>State actors often try to de-pseudonymize Bitcoin. They then put crypto service providers\u2014who serve as an important gateway between crypto and the real world\u2014under pressure to enforce potential claims. Because Monero is fully anonymous, government interventions are ineffective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto legend Nick Szabo comments on the Middle East conflict.
