Topic: Can Greece adopt Bitcoin? The answer is No - page 3. (Read 3905 times)

Syriza has good intentions but can he change anything? Greece's ass depends on Europe (Germany), what the hell are they going to do if Syriza wins? tell Merkel to fuck off? Then what happens the next day?

tend to agree with op
it is quite backward country, that relies almost totally on tourism and people are avoiding now because of problems

they have an amazing history as a country, but you have to go back a LONG way

bitcoin = no tax available (try to freeze an bitcoin adress ...) = corruption decline = done.
fiat = tax + freeze + inflation + printing money = poor people = war.

i prefer the first solution ...

sad to hear this. 

in the end Syriza will lose the elections and greece will get the next printed billions. your country will never be free with the €uro.

With the recent political crisis in Greece and the fear of the global financial system that a far left party will be the government for the next years the situation is more than tough about Greece financial future.
Is this the real picture behind the financial situation in Greece?
Does anyone know what real happen in Greece?
And the last question is will Greece adopt bitcoin and get out from euro?
Let me explain in simple words what is the real situation here. The real financial problem in Greece is the corrupt political parties "Nea Dimokratia" and "Pasok" that rule for more than half century the country and has ties with the more corrupt Greek financial elit. The financial elit in greece is the real government and is the only one that has no pay anything in the recent financial crisis. Instead they continue to increase their salary at the same time that people of greece get more poor.
And the worst is that eurozone leaders dont care about this situation because they have done in the past business with that corrupt elit for many year. We have many cases like the Siemens Greek bribery scandal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens_Greek_bribery_scandal that until now none has go to jail.
This is the real financial problem in Greece and if is not change we will not see a healthy financial situation and the people will continue to became more poor.
For that reasons we have the power increase of the left party "Syriza" with a 40 years old leader, a new person in the political system of Greece.
The real situation is that Syriza is not a far left party and will not get the country out of euro. And of course they will never adopt Bitcoin or anything else cryptocurrency.
And the answer why not is simple.
Greek people continue to live in a technological middle age. The most of the people don't understand even what is the internet and how to use it and the worst is that the young people don't even get the risk to create tech startups. The tech companies in greece is far fewer from any other europe country even from new Europe countries like Bulgaria, Romania,Poland or Letonia. And the owners of few tech companies that exist is in the hands of the corrupt financial elit. Expect from education the other negative reason for someone in greece to startup a tech company is the bureaucracy.
One other reason that Greece even with Syriza left party will never adopt Bitcoin is that their financial advisor is Mr Varoufakis who has a very negative opinion about Bitcoin

In Conclusion that Greece will never adopt Bitcoin is:

-Education
-Corrupt system
-Corrupt political parties
-Corrupt Financial Elit
-Bureaucracy
-Bad financial advisors.
