There was medium sized discussion in the Greek Pirate Party's forum.
Can you give us a link to it please in the local Greek thread? |

Doesn't look very promising for a Greek subforum. Almost 4 weeks of polling, and not even as many Greeks in the poll as we have fingers.  Is there some big Greek computer geek forum, where Bitcoin is already being discussed? ...Or should be?  |

When you have a problem with your Bitcoin, YOU are responsible.
+1 Besides the response above, it's a waste of time for us to even respond to this same worn-out argument, and so many others, which have been debated and redebated here. It's much more useful to spend the time interacting with your significant other, than pouring the same old thing from the void into the vacant with the likes of the OP... Just keep using B, if you think it's beneficial to you, and let B speak for itself. Time will tell who's right and wrong...  |

My opinion is: sue them in small claims! It will be fun! If you are in America, some states allow a lawyer in small claims court, if you wish.
They will have to task their lawyer to fight it. So, it will cost them more than you, if you do it yourself.

Then when Bitcoin becomes a threat the banks lobby the US govt who links Bitcoin to terrorism and seizes the gold. The seizure combined with the media reports of Bitcoin no longer backed by anything causes Bitcoin to crash overnight.
No I like decentralized just fine.
...
So instead of someone saying "I am not buying BTC for $6 it is not backed by anything" they will say "I am not buying BTC for $6 it is backed by only half a cent of gold". ...
+1 The skeptics' minds will not be changed by any backing. If the gold backing is instituted before B is accepted by most people as a viable and useful currency, the banks will get the government to seize this organization, together with the gold... IF and when B is accepted by most people, whether or not the skeptics exist will be irrelevant. To me, they are irrelevant now, because B will live or die on its own merits, regardless of the unavoidable, eternal skeptics. Besides the appearance of some superior digital currency, centralization in any form - mining, exchange, or via gold backing - seems to me to be the biggest threat to Bitcoin's survival right now. |

... Get out of my thread.
if people are not smart enough to shop around, their problem.
read the whole thread, fucktard.
Right there, one can see what kind of "businessman" ccliu is.  Just as soon as this becomes "YOUR" thread, i'll get out of it...  We've seen a lot of rip-off artists come and go in this forum since Bitcoin started; one thing they all have in common is they don't like their shell game questioned or exposed... |

... My customers are all happy. I have ordered from APMEX and they take ages. Coinabul takes ages ...and I pricematch any silver dealer that directly accepts bitcoins.
Dude, stop lying, please. I wouldn't deal with you just for that... You don't pricematch Coinabul, which directly accepts B. At current xchange rate, you are charging 41$ / Maple. Coinabul just over 37$. You are charging 17.50$ for shipping PER COIN, Coinabul less than 5$... All your customers are happy, because if i remember those American sayings right, "A fool and his money are easily parted," and "There is a new fool born every minute." Happy ripping! "No law against that..." |

... Do some research and you will find $8-10 over spot is pretty much industry standard. ...
"Widely known" shameless BS. SpotIndustry Standard |

WAY too expensive bro. Not to knock your hustle but damn. An ounce of silver is an ounce of silver.
Sell a couple bucks over spot.

Well it depends on how much you want to pay. TV would be ideal. But Facebook and blogs are good and free thought.
Well, what about the way we did it in the early days? Just go to various mass media entities, and ask them to do a comprehensive story on Bitcoin? Who did that? Or if we could find 10 greeks in the forum each one could give like 1 euro/month and start a facebook ad campaign targeted to people that would likely like bitcoin. Check with Bruce Wagner, for example. If i remember right, he was the first voice of Bitcoin in the mass media, even before Gavin. There were others who did their share to get the editors, reporters and such to cover it back at the end of 2010, beginning of 2011... All it would really take is for someone to convince a major Greek TV news bureau to do a story on Bitcoin... |

Has B ever been mentioned in Greek mass media?
Never in the mass media. Few people know about it but I am trying my hardest, hehe. Somebody make that poll somewhere if feasible. Ok, here is the POLL!Which part of the Greek mass media would be the most effective to request to present B to the Greek public? |
|
|
|
Α Greek subsection would be nice. I can help moderating if you want.
+1 If anyone needs a subsection here, it's the Greeks, provided that they are actually here! How many members do we have that actually live in Greece? Perhaps, such a poll would be useful in this thread. That's why i posted the thread mentioned above; people from all over are discussing B in this forum, but we seldom hear from the Greeks. Perhaps, they are discussing it somewhere else? Has B ever been mentioned in Greek mass media? |

Bitcoin is just too different from what the vast majority of people are use to and they don't like the idea of such a big change.
Older people also have this kind of "fear" about computer stuff.
...
...Converting euros to bitcoins sounds like a nice idea and I'm in favor. Especially for Greek people if we are to go back to a domestic currency. ...
But I believe Greece's major problem is not the economy! It's the corrupt politicians who could not care less about their country. All they care about is their personal power and profit.
...
Thanks for the update! That's perplexing to me and the people with whom i discuss this. People don't like such a big change everywhere, and old people fear computer stuff everywhere. Politicians are corrupt and self-serving everywhere i've been, with the only difference being how much the local political climate and system allows them to pocket... PLUS, Greeks seem to have the most to gain from converting to B, if they exit euro zone. Yet, Greece has yet to appear on Google Trends for Bitcoin, where smaller, less troubled countries, such as Finland, constantly appear. There seems to be some other Greek idiosyncrasy at work there. |

That's it. They're not backed by anything nor do they have to be in order to be valuable.
