I havent been able to see much of Greece on the current days, how the exposure on bitcoin going any new articles maybe a few new bitcoin atms for start up ideas coming to surface?

surely the Hype that greece created in bitcoin world was much greater than the actual effect it had . i bet there is just a handful of people in greece who invested in bitcoin and continue doing so. but the majority doesn't even care!

And those handfull of people has lost 30% of the investment....

Here in greece every day more and more people use debit cards like bit-x, spectrocoin, e-coin. Is the only way now with capital controls to buy something from an eshop outside greece. The only big problem is the high prices to buy bitcoins. We have two local bitcoin exchanges and the sell bitcoin price is 20-30 euro above market price. The same with the only btm it has 10% in every transaction.
We have before a BTM in the center of athens with logical prices but now is closed because they say it was only for promotion.. Tongue

Promote it with paper stickers on buildings and flyers or prospectus (how is it called in english) , so that you can get more and more people to just learn about it.

60% of greece doesnt even use internet, so promote it faster folks!

It is also another milestone in the global adoption of bitcoin after Australia.
Day after day, the bitcoin is getting popular and it's good in my opinion.

I agree. Most of the Greek people don't even know what Bitcoin is. It's 99% hype and maybe 1% actual money from Greek people.

The Bitcoin trade volume within Greece has increased by 400% during the last 4 weeks time-period, according to the local exchanges. But the overall trade volume is really low. It is in the range of BTC100-200. It means that some BTC4,500 were traded by the Greeks during the last one month period. If we take an average of BTC1 per person, it gives us 4,500 users, which is a very significant number.

Indeed so its not 1-2 whales put their money in bitcoin but rather some poor lads, unemployed 20-30 year olds who need a brighter future.

Folks need to realize that it will be only worse and worse, so if you know any greek unemployed young lad, definitely tell him about bitcoin.

He might earn a minimum wage in bitcoin, and if they form a community, they can barter food and stuff for bitcoin and not starve.

i doubt it's 1%, 1% of greek's population would mean 110k, if each of those puts even only 100 euro, we would have 11M of money in bitcoin, which are about 40k bitcoin into the market,

if everyone buy more in the range of 100-1k it would be 400k coins, in the market, which would rise the price much more than what it was...

All it takes is one grocery store to accept bitcoins and one employer to pay in bitcoins, and that's the beginning of those people not needing fiat anymore.

But how do they pay taxes, and if the local gov gets angry they just shut them down for no reason, they can do that unfortunately.

Its easier if you just organize commerce decentralized way.

For example an e-bay, but based on bitcoin, that can be the really big innovation instead of small stores that have no way of defending themselves against maffia mobster thugs going there to collect protection racket (yes i`m talking about tax collectors).

became clear that the Greek banking system and the policy adopted by the rulers not suit the current situation in Greece , there is a huge vulnerability in the banking system , they bet and buy and sell other currencies with their money , you never know where or when money was invested , it appears only what you need to know and see your balance , just as the exchanges your virtual balance and your actual balance

You dont need to save the whole country, you just need to save the poor people. The middle class and the rich ones will surely not starve.

If the poor people get saved (not through endless welfare and socialism) but through offering them innovation and an opportunity to earn money.

Look bitcoin has created more jobs in its existence than all governments on the world combined since then....

Unless you are willing to give people free bitcoin then you can't save them with it. From my experience I can say that people who are poor don't give a shit about new technologies, alternate currencies or investing.
First you need to fix general economy for bitcoin to be present in every part of society. For now it is used by only people who already have money to spend on 'investments'.
And that job part... it is not true at all. I wish it was truth tho.

Free bitcoin? Why? Everyone has an arm and a leg, so they can work...

There are thousands of "work at home" services (most are scam) but if bitcoin gets to those, it can be even easier to earn bitcoin by working from home.

It can be a massive new wave of jobs and employment, outside the government controlled sinking ship economy.

It's a perfect alternative especially for young 20-30 skilled persons, who already are computer experts, and have the most unemployment in their age group.

Actually I'm not sure bitcoin trending can raise the economy of Greece immediately, which the main reasons of why Greece got bankrupt were corruption and bribe in the government. The Greece people can switch into bitcoin, but they still can't avoid high tax from the government. But anyway, Greece has shown positive trend in bitcoin development there.

you can't suppose that a 4B marketcap asset can save a whole country like the greece, and they know that(those that are aware of bitcoin at least...) so it's pointless for them to adopt bitcoin, and enrich early adopters as a consequence of their buying

no one it taking bitcoin seriously for the time being

you can not know who is rich and who is not, some are hiding their wealth, to gain even more wealth, the richer always want to become richer, that's the problem, they are greedy as fuck

so you will end up saving who don't need to be saved, and wasting precious money on it, while many other real poor people will starve to death

I`m pretty sure that poor old guy who was crying in front of the ATM (been all over the news) didnt had a stack of euros under his pillow.

So obviously because of wealth hiding, thats perfectly legit ( Universal Declaration of Human rights, UN human rights, and EU human laws perfectly allow right to property, so fuck the thief banksters and tax collectors , atleast follow the fkin laws that you made dumbass elite)

So instead of wealth redistribution, why not just create new wealth for poor people?

Isnt it more moral to create new wealth instead of redistributing (stealing) and giving to the poor?

I sure hope that Bitcoin can do some good for the economic situation of the Greece. And I also hope that this Greek adoption can do some good for the bitcoin community as well.
