A great idea from Barry Silbert




Here are the top 10 tweeters in Greece, if we each send them a few bits via Changetip, we might start the ball rolling on some real change!

@Desp1naVandi
@ElliKokkinou
@Nat_Theodoridou
@AnnaVissiLive
@Mariettta
@xrisnik66
@Katia_Zygouli
@evanvar
@gusgofficial
@gpapadopoulos

Don't forget to use #GreeceBitcoinDrop

Maybe. But it won't cost you anything if they don't pick them up (that's one great feature of changetip). If just one of these 10 picks up a few bucks in Bitcoin, or just gets curious and looks it up... they could change a lot of minds in the coming months.

I see they're mostly singers/models/public figures... Would they easily advocate the adoption of Bitcoin? Would their main public be open to accept Bitcoin?

It would maybe work better if we raised awareness of personalities known in Greece to be agitators, instigators of public revolt, economists, government critics, political commentators, or something like that :)

Go ahead. Find some journalists, entrepreneurs with 10k+ followers on twitter who are in Greece and have tweeted in the last 24 hours.

If I was a whale I would do a Greek giveaway, unfortunately im not, so good luck with it. I can't personally afford giving away money for free right now. I may tip some small quantity just for the sake of it.

Kalimera :) (Ps: that's the only word I know in Greek)
I hope Our Komşiler (neighbours) gets awakening on bitcoin...

I guess @YanniKouts is the most influential Greek reporter on economic issues... but he is in Brussels..

Still, I've sent him a few bits.

good video on RT by the way  ;)

I agree with this. It's a nice idea but probably wont work sadly. People can give it a go though. Hopefully some Greeks will notice bitcoin as an option for their money any way.

Good question. I know nothing about the Greek society :) The only one that seemed to fulfill the "requirements" is this guy (https://twitter.com/NChatzinikolaou) but I don't even know what he does, or if people listen to him.

@GreekAnalyst also seems interesting, tipped him too!

What good would it do?   There in the hole trillions.  More than the market cap.  Better to donate to charity, or someone who appreciates it.

We need no airdrop, we need some big advertising for greece from a company.

I see in the last days, that the greece people burned euro´s.
It would be cool too see, when they would invested a part of their money in bitcoins.
The marketcap would easy double overnight.

Why give the Greeks money they have shown they cant handle it.

Trying to build a community by giving away free shit just attracts trashy folks.

Look at DOGE.

People need to earn their wealth to give a shit about the whole.

This it the sad truth. People are not value things they receive for free. Donating BTC to these 'notable twitch' personalities could create impression that Bitcoin is currency of low status, no value and bitcoin fanatics are desperately trying to promote it by giving it away. Also I am wondering, how much will they gonna 'donate'? $5? Please...

Are they real ? I am curious to get free bitcoins from them, I would use them in near future If I get 10 Free bitcoins, lol.... greedy though..

I guess things are picking up ;) https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3bj2af/twitter_changetip_campaign_for_greece/

Partially related: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/greek-bailout-fund
People are trying to collect 1.6 billion Euros to save Greece.

I hope some of the bitcoin collectors from drop gives to this campaign.

I'm up for sending a little it helps get the ball rolling. Is anybody else doing it?

This is hilarious and ridiculous at the same time, although they already managed to get more funds than what everyone already donated using #GreeceBitcoinDrop ;D

How is dropping one new world order currency for another, (coughs) Bitcoin, going to be of any benefit ?

- bring back the Drachma
- abolish the draft
- step away from the stupid ouzo moonshine

Patrida mas malakia !

Those are generalizations.

Great idea! Even when only one of them is getting interested, it would help and could start a chain reaction.

I think these sort of ideas are cheap and make Bitcoin look bad.
I could post a few pounds to them, or transfer some money to them with Paypal, I would expect that they would either ignore it, or immediately transfer the money to Euros and forget about how they got it.

The amount people will get will be faucet-esque, generally a few cents.  It won't be worth their while, and if they get more, then it is probably just a few famous greeks who will do well from it, and the masses will go on getting screwed.

It's pretty ridiculous. It's probably a scam and they'll keep all the donated money. They know there aren't enough citizens out there that could donate 1.6 billions, it could only be done if only a lot of whales donated, which is unlikely.
