Internet connectivity across Iran has virtually collapsed, with traffic plummeting to nearly zero. The blackout coincides with unprecedented street protests sweeping Tehran, where demonstrators are setting fire to government buildings and escalating demonstrations. The scale of unrest suggests a major uprising may be gaining momentum. Such geopolitical disruptions often trigger market volatility as investors reassess risk exposure and capital flows. Worth monitoring how this unfolds and whether it creates ripple effects across emerging markets and crypto sentiment.

Iran's internet outage seems to be stirring the market again; we need to keep a close watch. Is this a good opportunity to buy the dip, or should we wait and see? Great power rivalry, retail investors are once again being harvested—old tricks still work. Internet shutdown + protests, the rhythm of history repeating itself—will this wave hit emerging markets? It feels like Bitcoin is about to become volatile again; I dare not make a move. When geopolitical tensions flare up, funds rush into safe assets, and crypto takes a hit. In times like these, should we panic sell or go all-in... so exhausting. What does internal chaos in Iran usually mean—gold rises, coins fall, or the other way around? I'll just watch quietly; don’t let the news set the rhythm.

Iran's internet blackout is a harsh move, but it also indicates that the situation is serious. --- Another internet shutdown and building fires—this round seems more intense than expected... we need to watch the follow-up developments. --- What do retail investors think? Such geopolitical shocks are the easiest to stir up emotions in the crypto space. --- The funding situation is likely to change; emerging markets might be pushed around this time. --- Internet cut → loss of information → panic → capital flight, a chain reaction is coming. --- Regulators using this move is classic... we’ll have to wait until the internet is restored to see the outcome. --- This news will definitely cause price fluctuations; some will buy the dip, others will run, it all depends on who reacts faster. --- The more chaotic Iran gets, the more worth watching it is; its impact isn’t limited to the Middle East. --- It feels like the market hasn't fully priced in this risk yet. --- Another black swan? Or just hype? Either way, we need to keep a close eye.
