Man behind viral fake currency shocked by its success

“Sheafra” is the Arabic word for “Cipher”, which is, in turn, translated from the Arabic word “Sifr”, which means Zero.

One of the first detailed explanations of Zero was made by Persian Muslim polymath AlKhawarizmi, whose name went through multiple translations, eventually giving us the word “Algorithm”.

What is the relevance of religion in this context? I rarely see religion being mention in connection with other scientists.

AlKhawarizmi lived in Baghdad and was head Astronomer of the House of Wisdom there. Persia and Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) were under one political entity, along with Arabia, the Levant (modern-day Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon), Egypt, and others. Even today, many Muslims identify with their faith more than their race, ethnicity, or nationality.

I was sure this was gonna be about the Bitcoin guy.

I was certain this would be a cryptocurrency I wonder how it got the grey checkmark.
