been following the hormuz situation and kept seeing claims about iran collecting btc from oil tankers.. couldn't find any solid numbers so i just built something to track it

https://straitwatch.lovable.app

what it shows right now:

182 vessels tracked in the region

estimated ~₿475/day collected via the toll — based on AIS vessel data and bloomberg/ft reporting, not actual blockchain data

5 OFAC sanctioned ships active in the corridor

war premium model sitting at $9.88/barrel = roughly $170M/day extra cost globally

in 12 days since april 1 the model estimates ₿4,530 accumulated.. that's equivalent to 10 days of global bitcoin mining output without running a single miner

what's actually interesting to me isn't the btc amount.. it's that this works completely outside swift, ofac, all of it. by the time any bank knows a transaction happened it's already settled

not claiming this is verified blockchain data — full methodology is in the dashboard. built it for transparency
>>
Long story short: Bitcoin will hit $1 Million
>>
accepting payment in bitcoin and immediately dumping it for something else isn't gonna impact the price much
it's not like iran wants to hoard btc lol
>>
If Iran gets any significant amount of Bitcoin the price will hust be dumped immediately.

>US navy controls strait
>no tolls to Iran
well you tried op. not that your thesis ever made sense anyway.

Got a souce on the numbers chief?

Emdash AI slop OP. Fuck off.

> no accurate data on hormuz traffic for 45 days
> any data is tainted politically
> all serious investors already know this
> crypto tranny gets a whiff that bitty MIGHT be involved even tangentially
> xhe drops 10 pages of pure unmedicated hormuz traffic brain canon analysis

not reading the thread. did I get this right?
