But I currently live in a 3rd world country which has no software C++ jobs. And I can't get a foreign C++ job because I don't have C++ experience.
Imagine wanting to leave all your networks, friends, family, and culture; get a lifestyle pay cut and still not get a C++ job. All skilled migrants must get a masters degree or PhD in their destination country just to get their get their CV viewed by an actual person.
In Iran specifically, Allies caused 2 great famines in Iran(1917-1919, 1942-1943); Reza Shah was deposed in 1941 by the allies; democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh was overthrown in 1953 by CIA/MI6; Germany built Iraq's chemical weapon program and to prevent an Iranian victory, the United States supported the Iraqi army in their use of chemical weapons.
How can operate I with a bare minimum of good faith with someone who denies oppression and injustice? You're just being called out.
Of the few talents who decided to remain in the country, even fewer want to do boring enterprise work and they prefer staying on the "bleeding edge". Therefore there are very few companies doing java which can compete with foreign firms in payment(and so can keep talent and code quality).
Majority of bitcoin is mined in containers. Civilians do not have access to megawatt power supplies. Civialns also can't import such containers. Electricity may be cheaper but graphic cards and ASICs certainly are not.
TDLR; people don't have access to mining equipment or power source required. Rulers do.
The comments about our hospitality and generosity being fake is unfair and unfounded. It's also very self centered of someone to have such claims based solely on their experience and perception. Iran is a big county with different cultures and very different behavior between generations. Do American boomers and GenX behave the same?
The comments about our language not being understandable because of taarof is also laughable. I have never done taarof. My friends and family don't do taarof. My driver and food delivery guy get paid over a mobile app. My barber outright asks for tips. People who have chain migrated out of Iran ages ago and higher middle class people are not representative of all Iranians. We are just like you and everybody else.
