Greek on-line merchants?

[Lethn]

Bitcoin can definitely prove to be a good help for Greek merchants and retailers.Now that the currency is in great upheavel ,they can probably adopt Bitcoins to save their trade. They need to be aware about it.

Are there any English speaking Greeks about here? It would be pretty cool if we could try and spread Bitcoin over there, as long as it's not too aggressive or anything of course.

The infrastructure for accepting Bitcoins is all there, it doesn't matter which country you're in you should be able to sign up to the crypto only payment processors like coinpayments, it's all up to them now. I do think that we need to seriously take a look at some open source SCI's though.

the only thing could be regulation, some countries don't even know how to define bitcoin, let alone adopting it

security and regualtion is what holding back many countries from accepting bitcoin and Greece is not exempt from this, with their trouble don not have the tiem for this i presume

Online merchants could actually be a starting effect to use bitcoin just if they had it, here a real life test for taking drachma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHAWfTP5iW0 people respond less positive to taking drachma most like because they know is has no value bitcoin has a good change for merchant adoption.

How are Greek webstores etc. handling payments now that capital controls are in place? I'd imagine it has to be a problem for merchants serving the domestic market as well as those with foreign customers. It's my understanding Greeks don't shop online nearly as much as other Europeans, but this still seems like a niche where Bitcoin could genuinely be useful as a payment method.

Online can be made shopping with normal money or with bitcoin. With the normal money it is difficult to have more to do because the money that Greeks can have in these times are few. So the work of the merchants will be less and no more. As for shopping with bitcoin (always it there are merchants which accept it) I think that only Varoufakis know the bitcoin in Greece. And he is to narcissist to shop itself. It must be his wife or its servants which make those things for him.
