Thank you for editing it, makes things easier to parse.
The problem is people's fiat is locked up in banks, with daily withdrawal limits. The Euro isn't such a bad currency after all. People would be happy to store their money in Euros. The problem is the threat that banks may seize a portion of the deposits.
So if somebody has hard Euros, he might just decide to keep it, instead of buying BTCs at an ATM.

i hope they will release some data about how much the atm is used. i am curious to find out if greek people are really interested in buying bitcoin to avoid their shitty banks and government.
They apparently had 2000€ volume in one morning. Not bad, I think.

" Asked how the bitcoin would fare in the Greek economy that relies heavily on cash, Messinis replied: “We really don’t know but it will be an interesting experiment – in the future, bitcoin will very likely be a major currency so we’re hoping to learn as much about this new world as early as possible. ”
The Greek economy relied heavily on cash, until they were fucked by the banks... People have now realized that the banks and cash is a failed system.
The Bitcoin community already offered them a alternative, it's their choice if they want to keep on riding a dying donkey or jump onto a racing horse.

If they "depended on cash heavily" then did they store it in banks or mattress?
Is there a large part of people who don't care if banks limit withdrawals?

The first 2-way bitcoin ATM in Greece will be inaugurated in downtown Athens on Saturday at The Cube.
The Cube coworking space, or the Athens Startup Ecosystem as it is entitled, is a building housing several startups, providing space, computers, internet, secretarial and all-around support. It is the brain child of Stavros Messinis and it is run by himself and his wife Maria Kalafatis.
