Dealing with sanctions through Bitcoin? Netanyahu's statement that sparked a storm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Channel 10 that Israel must prepare for the possibility of international banking sanctions, and that he has instructed to formulate a response plan based, among other things, on blockchain technology and digital currencies. The statement sparked harsh criticism on social media. Avishai Ovadia, a founding partner of the Collider investment fund and a crypto investor, argued that Netanyahu is "wrong and misleading," and that digital currencies cannot serve as a means to bypass state sanctions. In the interview, Netanyahu also addressed the future of US security aid, clarifying that Israel will have to learn to manage without it.
