This will create a stir. If it can be organized properly, why not create an thorough 1-2page guide explaining the new system and how works and why it could be better, and how to use bitcoin safely. It is an experiment.. With the Greek people. "Were going to the Bitcoin"

An obvious point to make out that is a problem for bitcoin is simply if it works out, some few peoepl have a lot to gain, even if only a brief adoption occurs…

I think having bitcoin as the main currency is a scary scenario in itself. Isn't fear already a driver of the economy. However being ruled by a small elite sucks too. Having a bunk debt based globally organized economy is also.

~420,000k bitcoins. What if Varoufakis were to drop the B word in negotiations. "Fine, were going to Bitcoin and the drachma/combo."

Bitcoin/blockchain could keep the new greek government fiat currency democratic.

If done properly, the coins could be portioned off early enough, and become worth many times by the time the greek people get them….

On announcement the global markets could go nuts for Bitcoins… A lot of flaws may be found… but who knows, this could be in an interesting moment…

they should just make their own crypto on a blockchain or make a counterparty asset. and distribute 1M of the new coin to each citizens. mandate the local businesses must accept. it or bitcoin dont pay any of the debt problem solved

Well, someone did post a thread on that on here : https://np.reddit.com/r/greece/comments/2whv3r/psa_if_youre_worried_about_a_run_on_the_banks/?limit=500 {This is what is left of it}

We then started to educate them on using Bitcoin as a alternative/backup currency...... The shills/trolls picked up on it and they totally took over the thread.

The Pro / Anti Bitcoin war started and it went offtopic VERY quickly.

The moderators had to take over and they deleted most of the discussions that took place there. What is left after all of that, is a few of my posts, where I explained some of the basics of Bitcoins.

It is going to be difficult to get the message to them, because these shills / trolls are everywhere... It would be better if someone like Andreas could go there, and have meetups with them, to discuss the matter.

This is such a joke. It wouldn't create a dint in Greece's debt unfortunately.

It wouldn't cost much to run full page ads in their papers (online or hard copy)... with links to educational materials and wallets

But what if all Greeks dump their 10$ Bitcoin? But it's good thing that whole country will know about Bitcoin.

First of all, from where the sponsors will get $100 million worth of Bitcoins? At present exchange rate, it represents somewhere between BTC400,000 and BTC450,000. Collecting that much coins will be hard.

If people aren't happy with their local currency, they should do their own research and draw their own conclusions. Better to put in btc infrastructure than to throw money at the problem.

Educating 10.5 million Greeks about Bitcoin is going to take ages, especially with the numbers we are having at our side. Grin

May be we should try popularize Bitcoin at major Greek Universities first.

Right, because ten dollars per citizen is TOTALLY going to solve Greece's problems. /eyeroll

it opens the doors to the people of greece. Gets them educated.. and within a few years who knows they could be the leading economy.. doubtful but in better position.. And if greece makes its own currency again the block chain could be used to keep it check.

Varoufakis is a closet commie - he is as ideologically opposed to cryptos as he is to running a handout-free, clean administration that is not built on unsustainable debt
