I'm not, just wondering what its like there now.  Seems like a great place to introduce a new currency idea.

Well Greece are tied to the Euro, though there has been speculation about cutting greece from it. But thats probably not going to happen...

I thought Greeks dealt in gold and silver coins. At least, that's what I learned from watching Hercules and Xena.

Well, we'll be leaving the Euro first (pretty soon), unless the Germans get to win that race.

And BTW, Hercules (your version) and Xena are Australians, not Greeks.

We have had black market economy and barter for thousands of years, under any conqueror. We will survive, no matter how hard it will be. It's only a pity that Bitcoin only exists for a couple of years. If it was a more established currency, as I expect it to be in a few years time, then any transition would be much easier.

Think that any weekend from now on can be default weekend for us. The government on a Friday night will declare a 3-day holiday for banks on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so that they have time to print new currency and change our Euros to devalued Drachmas. And freeze deposits at the same time.

Bitcoins FTW.

we will not return to drachma at least for 6 months.

Using bitcoins is just about the same as using euros. What Greece is looking at right now is either:
1. Flip the finger to it's creditors, and restructure it's debt (read "default on it")
2. Monetize it's debt by printing drachmas
3. A combinations of the above

The failure of Greece if not a monetary fiasco, it's a fiscal, governmental and democratic fiasco.

more so bad governments.listen to this:

public *servants* (i like the word) were getting much more money than private employees and *without* the possibility of loosing their job EVER, no matter what they did. they could spit their boss in his face, and dont get fired.

of course taking this away from them, makes them protest. its natural. no economy can survive this.
