Greece may need to use a different currency but I'm not sure why any decentralized currency would help them. They aren't in this jam because of fiat or unsound money, they are in it because they are overwhelmed with debt. Sound money doesn't traditionally help governments in a short to medium time frame.

Edit: Oh my bad. Just noticed you said "not an option" haha.
