I was to say something along of how greece can afford to even adopt it, with its failure to repay.

but then I noticed the april fools joke as well lol.

If that was serious though, that would be something to see. Even the thought of that, maybe the greece can take a hint and say "hey why not use our leverage and market this so can pay back our loans through cashing out through bitcoin".

beside the april fools jokes, the idea itself isn't that bad. but can't see any country giving up their old fashion system.

and amazingly, bitcoin didnt even move up 0.5%

if greek finance minister had said gold would back their new currency, gold prices would have spiked.

bitcoin dead in the water

I think it would be a dreadful idea, and it will never happen, but that is pretty interesting that people in positions of power are actually thinking about adopting Bitcoin!
Is this 1st April joke?

no the bitcoin 2.0 thread is, this section now is an april fool joke

I realise now that Zerohedge is an American website, so it is before midday there, thus this is probably an April fools joke.
It's quite dry for an April fools though, but I guess that is more likely than that they are actually considering adopting bitcoin.

Sorry.
Already saw this posted, nice joke, I wish it was true but Varoufakis will not take that risk, that takes more balls that they can afford unfortunately.

Yes there is no doubt this is a joke, probably the author has some btc and hopes to create a price jump.  Sad but btc has turned into kind of a joke considering most people only use it for anonymity when dealing online and hoping the price sky rockets again
