ok sounds good on the surface but what about those who dont have access to computers, although in this day and age its not common many people such as the eldery tend to stay away from computers.

Computer/Smartphone... availability of either clears the path to secure bitcoin. Most of the youngsters with a decent economic status have access to either of these. And most of the family generally have youngsters.

The current problem of Greece is they can not pay against the bitcoin they want to secure. It is the liqudity crisis of bank. That is why, each family across the globe needs to secure part of their wealth in bitcoin, while the crisis has not yet hit them.

I saw the Greece ATM picture on Reddit earlier, a very sorry sight for sure.

The situation over there (and potentially for what looms for other nations) is terrible, but I can hardly imagine citizens attempting to buy Bitcoin with their Euros. Surely it is getting access to the funds which is the problem in the first place.

Also I don't think that I would want to secure the majority of my wealth in Bitcoin, to even invest a significant portion I would need to full understand how I would go about procuring coin, and ensuring its safe deposit.

The fact that governments and banks allow for things like this to even come about is awful.

people should never invest the majority of their wealth in anything. 10% of your total balance for investing is more than enough. especially when it comes to highly volatile investments as bitcoin.

What is the problem? I cannot see the picture on the OP.

really awful situation the Greeks have to deal with specially all the old and retire folks not getting their pension on time nor complete so imagine a person that relies only on their pension and the government is cutting their funds thats pretty much a slow death to the older people on Greece.

Picture showing up just fine for me.

Also agree this is quite the moving banner.  Image of a Greek citizen obviously of retirement age literally at wits end.  How can one help but feel for the people of Greece with this kind of imagery.

The Greek ppl are suffering this kind of problem. For us outside Greece, it is a hard lessson for us! It is time to switch a portion of money to crypto!

[Amph]

what? is this even an excuse? you have mobile phone, public desktop ecc..., even with a 56kbps you can run the client, all others belong to a minority, you can not please everyone... you know

@OP i like how you are advertising 100bit.co, that exchange is great and more anon than localbitcoin, it should be definitely used more

[tokeweed]

The image is really impressive! Hopefully more bitcoin related businesses are doing such kind of campaign. It also makes viewers think about the situation the Greek ppl are facing and we may face it in the future.

[bryant.coleman]

I have to admit that the poster is impressive. That said, if you want the Greeks to start trusting Bitcoins, things like these are simply not enough. The young Greeks have hardly any money in their hands, and it is the middle-aged and the elderly, who are having at least some sort of wealth with them. But since Bitcoin is a currency which is more suited to the young and tech savvy population, its adoption will remain limited among the Greeks.

There were a few people on the Bitcoin Reddit claiming that the Greeks should have turned to Bitcoin before it got this far. Never heard such nonsense.

It's especially sad for the older generation who have worked so hard their whole lives, relying on a traditional system to honour their end of the arrangement in the banking system.

I hope that some resolution is made soon to allow for some degree of normality, the levels of stress and worry for people must be through the roof.

There were rumors the Greek banks might start using customer's money to bail themselves in if they go bankrupt. After the last financial crisis plans were made across the world to put new regulations in place allowing bankrupt banks to spend customer's money bailing themselves in. When people hear what is happening in Greece they might start putting money into Bitcoin in case the banks ever go bankrupt in their countries.

It depends on where you are. If you are in USA, UK or Germany, you know, at the end of the day, your country will take care of you. But, if you are in North Korea, Ukraine or Argentina, you might have to take care of yourself. Learn it from a Venezuelan => https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3buaay/grecian_here_some_thoughts_you_could_give_me_on/cspqz0e

Venezuelan here.

My country has had capital controls since 2002. Buying outside our country is a nightmare. You can get prosecuted for simple things like buying gift cards with penalties such as removing FOR LIFE your annual quota of a paltry $300 on credit cards. You can't use any other means to buy goods or pay services besides credit cards. The dollar has been pegged to a crazy 6.3 VEF/USD since some years ago (up from another crazier 4.3 VEF/USD).

Since half a year ago, i've kept ALL MY WEALTH in Bitcoin... yes ALL. Every single VEF i get, after buying food, gets converted to Bitcoin immediatly.

Not Dollars.

Not Euros.

Not GBP.

Bitcoin.

I have almost triplicated my wealth since i made that move. When the black market exchange rate was 150 VEF/USD, i held Bitcoin. Some weeks ago the black market exchange went to ~450 VEF/USD. Guess what, i feel like a rich man. I can maintain my WHOLE FAMILY OF 5 (food, basic services, debt) with just .3 BTC/month. The rest gets stashed away.

Also, i began mining. 1 Antminer S5 gives me, after electricity costs (which are almost non-existent, electricity cost here is a joke) the same wage my wife and i earn (we're both engineers) TWICE a month.

Your government will do stupid things, i guarantee it. Don't trust a single drachma/euro to them. If you want to hedge, use something like Bitreserve, but believe me, wild price swings aren't that important dealing with Bitcoin when your other alternative is a highly manipulable, fractional-reserve backed, fiat money.
