Distribute bitcoin to every Greek citizen

[NewLiberty]

If people want police, roads, and other stuff, then somebody will provide that service.

The idea that only the state can provide those things is a fairy tale. It's kind of embarrassing to live in a world where so many adults still believe in those kind of myths.

It's possible in smaller communities where such things have direct impacts on the quality of life of the people you're associating with.

When you scale up it's human nature to not want to inconvenience oneself for the sake of unseen others despite making similar use of pooled facilities.

One anarcho capitalist commune is going to struggle somewhat to build a new railway. If you recruit a few others to join in, whaddya know you're mired in political manoeuvres again.

Greek city-states have shown some competence historically.
Smaller more local governance could be a big improvement in the ability to get things done without government barriers.

I am never sick and see no reason to pay anything to help with healthcare. I got all the education i need and wont pay anything to help out others getting their education. As an old anarchist i really dont care if we have police or regulations so i wont pay for that either. I drive a Jeep Cherokee and give a dam about road quality and wont pay for that either.

I do like internet so i might donate a little if nobody else is doing it.

It is not my problem if goverments fall and as a result countries dissolve and everyone is left to fend for themself. If i can save some money the rest of the world can do whatever they will. I kind of like the idea of anarchy.

Not sure the greeks are ready for it....

Fair enough. Now multiply that attitude by the population of an entire continent and see how much fun it would be to live there.

Anarchistic lifestyles are a luxury paid for by the 'sheeple'.

How would such distribution be made? I know few people that would do everything to abuse it for some free BTC.

And I think most of the Greek people would just dump them on sight, or buy something with the BTC, as they are fearing product shortage very soon

distribution like pos coin are a bad way to give money, it's very easy to make an account and retrieve much more than you are actually eligible for, unless this is done with personal id, which would require violating privacy, thus it cannot be seen as a good solution

if they want bitcoin they should simply put some money on exchange and buy it, ok greece people have their money locked, they can still buy stuff and sell them abraod for bitcoin, problem solved...

i agree. these are two valid concerns because if the such distribution were to happen a lot of people will take this opportunity to abuse it. and bitcoin anonymity will allow this to happen too.
besides if you were about to give people who don't even know about bitcoin and also there is no place to spend it while they need money for their need, they would simply dump it for cash.

[Q7]

So who is going to fund the project? If most Greeks don't even understand what bitcoin is in the first place the coins would just stay in the account for nothing. Plus giving a person probably a euro worth of btc doesn't give them the incentive to go through all the trouble to convert it to fiat. What they need is fast cash. Period.

Possible. I mostly wonder if it could be done, would it be for Greece or bitcoins sake?

EU would never let geek citizens starve, btw, that would be too bad PR.

What Greece should do is understand the basics of the current financial system, e.g. you pay back your creditors, and if you can not do that, the expenses must be lowered and/or income increased.

The greeks has already shown the same attitude as me when they did not pay their taxes. Economy based on donation to a common good is so different from human nature that i think we have to wait a couple of millenia.

Give bitcoin to a tribe in some south american jungle who is used to share everything and you might have a winner.

I read today that greece people are limited to use the ATM only for 60€ which is pretty low for a person living there.
That's why people are moving to bitcoin.

People don't have to move to Bitcoin. They just have to get their cash out of the banks.
It is the government control and the banks which are the problem. If they withdraw euros and stuff it under their pillow, they should be okay.

Why not moving to bitcoin, when government holds their money. It's a better move if they choose bitcoin.
