Just another demonstration how Bitcoin is by far better money than Euro (in this case).
Bitcoin is fungible. Euro is not. In Germany Euro worth 100 cents in Cyprus it is only 90-94 cents. Bitcoin worth 100000000 Satoshis everywhere.

Topic: Cypriot bank deposits hit in €10bn bailout - page 6. (Read 20096 times)
The world is becoming a very interesting place.
Next, I would expect the PIIGs to take their cut at every deposit and withdrawal - since people won't be leaving a lot of cash in banks. They'll still need to use banking services for a few things though; mandated by 'law'. Can you imagine someone with a one-thousand Euro tax bill having to deposit eleven hundred, so the ten percent can be taken off the top, first?
WTF are they thinking?
We should have a bounty for dropping informational bitcoin leaflets in places like Cyprus and Argentina, with R/C aircraft. Our own non-lethal drone wars. One could probably send a large, Arduino/Arduplane-controlled Telemaster to Cyprus from Israel or Turkey for less than 25 BTC. That would be a scheme with a pretty good ROI, one would think.

When i read it today, i simply couldn't believe it.
They just took people's money. Just stole it. Just like that.
THIS IS UN-FUCKIN-BELIEVABLE. Is the system really already starting to crash ?
I hate to break it to you, but the system died in 2008. All that's left now is for the corpse to stop twitching. They just took people's money. Just stole it. Just like that.

There is a bigger issue your all missing here, Turkey has wanted into the EU for ages and the turkish part of Cyprus has been less friendly with large foreign depositors, Now obviously Turkey and the republic of Cyprus is now totally sucking off the ECB in order to play a bigger part in the EU, remember it was not long ago Turkey got some nice new missile batteries put on its border for protection from Syria it seems that Turkey is a strategic area for all the military crazyness happening in the middle east and asia. This does also set a precedent for other European countries to steal from depositors as surity for ECB loans.
They do this in Argentina all the time too. Nobody there trusts the bank, on payday there is a giant lineup outside of people draining their accounts so the govt can't arbitrarily reach in and steal their money.

It all will get more complicated once all the bankers and politicos are holding loads of bitcoins that they will have bought themselves at 1000000$ a pop.
One wonders what they will do when everyone is in gold,silver or bitcoins....
their will be no they when its bitcoins

Well, they could make it illegal to hold valuable metals. And they could make it illegal to hold bitcoins. But while it's easier to remove physical gold, what would they do about a brain wallet ?
waterboarding?

Apparently they are also negotiating selling information of their customers. Yep suckers keep trusting your friendly bank.

The worst part is it will give beauracrats elsewhere some ideas.

I read about a protest once where a farmer ran his tractor with a tank full of shit and sprayed the local municipality HQ. I kind of giggled. The french men aren't strangers to protests either!
