Anyway, back to the subject at hand: What Greece needs is movement of the economy and taxation. Fair and enforced taxation. One of the main reasons Greece is falling apart is that the populace has been cheating the government out of all monies for decades (centuries?), but are expecting that same government to fulfill all sorts of duties that they don't have money for.
That is one solution, but I can't agree that it's easiest to accomplish, nor is preferable (at least according to my views). I'm guessing Greeks are all thinking that better governance is the solution (while at the same time avoiding taxes themselves nonetheless), and ones who aren't in that camp are thinking moving away from "money" (== "evil") is the key (while taking all chances to make money). Yet, this is the mentality which lead to the situation in the first place.
"Saving money" would have saved the day by the way. You can't keep your traditional tempo AND demand to live like Americans. Nor there is anything to be gained by living like them. You can in fact be happy, if not happier automatically, without spending like crazy.
Bitcoin may be nice for people that have a problem with authority but for a population that cannot afford to use EUR, BTC is going to be much too expensive to obtain in any amount that is useful to help anyone.
Although I agree that it's not for Greeks, the unit value of BTC doesn't matter. Moving to a non-inflating-like-crazy currency that is freely exchangeable would be pretty useful in such cases. Privatize public services, and you will have all you need without pouring money into a black box.
