The Greece default story has been widely spread and understood globally and along with those stories, the tales of bitcoin were also supposed to be talked about, by a lot of people about how 'it could' save Greece from its eurozone tragedy. Sadly, nobody can save Greece. Regardless of that, the media talked about bitcoin and it got attention globally, on an appropriate scale.

Yeah, it does indeed look quite bleak for Greece. If anything, the whole spike in interest regarding digital currencies is a look into what lies ahead in the future. Bitcoin may not be able to save Greece, but it could serve as damage control in dampening the effects of Greece's current financial troubles.

It will have a knock on effect and people will be interested in alternative ways to store their wealth. These sorts of crises in Greece etc wont be isolated events and more of them will happen over time. I think there'll be another  major worldwide crisis within the next ten years as well. Maybe bitcoin could take a foothold if that did happen.

I completely agree with you about the importance of alternative stores of wealth in the future. With more countries defaulting in debt and financial institutions faltering, I'd imagine that other digital currencies (altcoins, perhaps?) may thrive as well. In today's financial ecosystem, I truly believe society is beginning to drift away from the traditional notion that banks are the only way to go. Actually, Trestor Foundation had recently caught my attention in the news. It seems that they are starting what appears to be a financial transaction revolution by implementing their digital currency into everyday use in countries like Cameroon and Greece. I'm interested to see how they progress, because what they're doing could really change the way we look at global transactions.

Here are the articles if anyone's intrigued:
