I don't have a Visa. I don't have a dollar bank account. I still buy USDT every week.

People outside Iran ask "how is that possible?" Here's exactly how we do it inside Iran:

**Step 1: Rial → Exchange**
I use Nobitex. It's an Iranian exchange. I send Rial from my bank card (Shaparak) to Nobitex. Takes 2 minutes.

**Step 2: Rial → USDT inside Iran**
On Nobitex, price is ~83,000 Toman per USDT. I buy. No dollars needed. It's Rial to USDT directly.

**Step 3: USDT → My Wallet**
I withdraw to Trust Wallet on TRC20 (TRON network). Fee is $1. If I use ERC20, fee is $10, so I never use that.

**Why TRC20?**
Because $1 fee vs $10 fee. In Iran, $9 matters. That's almost 1M Toman.

**How long?**
5 minutes total. Faster than going to a bank.

**Is it legal?**
Crypto trading is allowed for personal use. Everyone does it to save value.

Last week I bought 12 USDT with 1M Toman. This week, that 12 USDT still buys 12 USDT worth of chicken. If I kept Rial, it buys less chicken.

We don't buy crypto to get rich. We buy crypto to not get poor.

Do you also convert your salary to USDT right away? What exchange do you use in your country?

**P.S. for foreigners:** You can buy Rial with USDT on the same exchange. Rate is better than black market.
