Bitcoin fans eye potential in Greek crisis

The world is watching with bated breath as the Greek people consider how to vote in the country’s upcoming referendum. A yes vote on Sunday will see Greece accept the terms of the troika’s bailout, and commit itself to further austerity; a no vote will see the country taking the first step towards exiting the Euro entirely.

Do Greeks fear that their bank accounts will be forcibly converted from euros to drachmas? Other than avoiding that and circumventing capital controls, I don't see how Bitcoin helps people in Greece.

Last time an European country had capital controls in place, bitcoin price hit all time high values, lets see if history repeats.
