Lots of good, long historical articles today. @TonyGiorgio on El Salvador, and now this. I read a lot of it, but I have to go back. I remember the time of the revolution well. Many families who supported the Shah sent their kids to US colleges in the late 1970s. I met them and learned a lot. I didn't read the whole thing carefully yet, but I'm wondering if the author talks about government bitcoin mining? I remember they would sometimes support mining and then shut it down.
