I think the way would be leading by examples instead than 'splaining what BTC are and are not.
Trying to launch some micro BTC startups there, even in the underground economy seems to me the way to go.
Maybe launching a service to facilitate capital flight?

Considering what they are about to go through, the Greek Government might even make BTC the official currency.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the banks that have been 'cut off' from the ECB wouldn't mind processing tx to mtgox for a percentage.

Guys! We've derailed the thread. We are supposed to be discussing how we can get the Greeks to buy into Bitcoin.

Go to Greece and spent a week on the streets yelling about bitcoin/hand out some flyers.

Its how most grassroots and political parties do it - get the attention of a few hundred, then hope they tell 2 others each.

Great idea. But I cannot go to Greece. I'm sure there is someone here who is in greece, we could make the fliers and get them to distribute them at the rallies/riots

how about handing everyone casascius coins?

If you are translating the bitcoin information to greek, start the spanish translation too because is the next country going into bankrupcy. Assets are leaving the country in a high speed because the government is planning to aprove a wealth tax again and some banks are being nationalized.

Given the scale of what is about to unfold on the international financial markets, I think we're about to get a field test of how good bitcoin is for people circumventing capital controls.
This is going to be very, very interesting.

+1

The is one of the largest benefits of Bitcoin: for surviving governmental SHTF episodes.

Guys! We've derailed the thread. We are supposed to be discussing how we can get the Greeks to buy into Bitcoin.

Also, Argentina has also implemented capital controls. We need to take advantage of this golden opportunity! With $4bn a week leaving Greece, even a tiny percentage of that would be great for bitcoin. Not only in bringing more capital into our economy but also, if the media picks up the story that people are going to bitcoin as a 21st century capital control evasion method, this could be very big indeed.

(They are even using sniffer dogs to catch people smuggling dollars. I'd like to see them try sniffing bitcoins Tongue

and be the first of european nations to have sound money.

First? Remember the pound, also called the pound sterling, as in silver. The pound USED to be this sound money you speak of.

First to have it now.

Most European nations had sound money once upon a time, the Greeks already did even before Roman times.

there has probably been use of sound money even before recording of history started, so yes: "be the first to go back to sound money".

Greece should:
1. Default on the loans they can't pay. Its just the ECB paying them right now anyway.
2. Now, they would no longer be able to loan a dime.

I'm not even sure about that. Free of debt economy being built with motivated population? Might be a good investment... get in early Wink

They should do 1. and then make their own currency. I read they have some gold, just use that to back it and jump in the boat with russia, china,... (who will do the same at some point) and be the first of european nations to have sound money.

Yeah probably, I'm guessing a smaller amount though and not the first months/year.

Would be better for them if they didn't loan and fixed things instead.

If they did that they'd be the richest nation in Europe by 2020.

How will they stop the bankers from confiscating the gold.... when you go bankrupt your creditors get to split up all your assets.

That's not necessarily true. You might get to keep a minimum for survival (300 tons of gold is not unreasonable, also: Bill Gates said civilized people don't want gold, so the bankers should be civilized).

Also: Russian military will protect their "fellow free market allies", threatening to nuke the City of London Wink

1. Who said bankers were civilized?
2. WWIII here we come.

ok, damnit. let me rephrase:

~~They~~ The whole world should do 1. (default) and then ~~make their own currency~~ let the markets decide what to use for money.
