The greek government have no money, how would they source the BTC for the change over.

Much cheaper and easier when you can just print your own currency.

I have relatives in Greece and almost nobody there is thinking about bitcoin. The smart ones already converted their money to US dollars months ago. Only the foolish sheep in Greece still have their money in the local banks.

they will not adopt anything that they cannot control, they cannot certainly risk another time to be banckrupt, in the case bitcoin fall by a good portion

they will play a more conservative game now, if they really want a cryptocoin i think it's better for them to create their own and get rid of their dracma, or maybe call it dracmacoin....

it is and will remain nothing more than a fantasy. can't see any country, no matter how much problems they have, adopt bitcoin as main currency.

Greece abandons the euro and adopts bitcoin - a lovely idea which would at least guarantee citizens could no longer be subject to summary devaluation at the knee. Alas only slightly more plausible than lenders accepting a No vote is a basis for debt relief.

Seeing this in RT is definitely bullish for bitcoin since it somehow reflects the Russian agenda. Also, it's positive marketing for bitcoin and shows where it could be used. If Greece adopts bitcoin then the price of bitcoin would definitely rise to 5000$ per bitcoin.
Nice clickbait OP Smiley I thought it was real news.
It is definitely a possibility, but how will people transition? just look at the ATMs full of old clueless people, how will they deal with Bitcoin when they can't even operate a computer?
