Hm.. I have a few greek friends. I have mentioned bitcoin to them, but I'm not sure the message went trhough properly. I'm making another shot at it. Smiley

if Kenyans can figure out how to use phones to send M-pesa via SMS, i'd think Greeks could learn how to use Bitcoin Spinner provided they have Androids.

perhaps a Bitcoin exchange that offered free Androids to set up an account above a certain number of euros?

Bitcoin
Read this article on how Greeks are trying to get money out of banks, and have no safe place to put it! In their home, they risk robberies. Transferring it to other places, takes high fees back and forth. Put it in a safety deposit box, and it's only slightly safer than being in one's account... plus all the safety deposit boxes are taken already.

OR you could use Bitcoin and keep it perfectly safe on a USB drive! How do we tell Greece to wake the hell up?

Greece has amazingly few Internet users. Only 45% of people there use the Internet at all, and probably a much smaller percentage are skilled enough to use Bitcoin. I don't think Bitcoin can make significant inroads there.
