Even though I've seen a lot of people doubting these campaigns, they can't hurt. The problem for Greeks is that most of them probably don't know how to buy/use Bitcoin nor do they understand it.
I've been watching Google trends and it looks like that Bitcoin is getting more attention recently. We need someone with a lot of followers from Greece to pick it up.

But how will they buy the coins? It is a pita to get them, they can't just buy them at the store. Plus their money is stuck in the banks. There will be serious limits at the banks for the near future because the Greek government knows that the run will continue. So imo it is too late for the Greek people to take advantage of bitcoins.
Under this uncertain situation, ppl just realize the importance of bitcoin! But for the most ppl's money are stuck in the exchanges. There are limited amount of the money for them that can be used to buy bitcoin. Besides that, they need spare money for daily consumption. But for most of us, it will be a good lesson for heavily fiat money holders.
There are a select few Twitter feeds that the worlds press are sitting on right now. They are also monitored by people in Greece.
A single new Bitcoin ATM machine has just appeared in Athens.
I suggest that this is a rare strategic opportunity to get Bitcoin a bit of temporary propulsion. Retweet this tweet and try to get it to float. All the appropriate hashtags are contained but feel free to propagate. Bitcointalk has a huge audience and this is a nothing-to-loose opportunity.
Bitcoin can do 2 things for people in Greece:
[1] - facilitate electronic transfers of cash. People are avoiding using credit cards or debit cards right now because they're worried their money's going to dissapear down a hole. Everyone wants cash.
[2] - in the event of a currency reset, it can arrest personal losses during a devaluation
Here's the tweet:
