What happens if Greek banks don't reopen tomorrow? I'm giving them only a 15% chance of opening.
Those banks can't handle even one full day of withdrawals. depositor's haircuts?
What happens after banks are closed for two weeks? Civil unrest? riots?
"OXI" on the referendum is not the end of the story. It's just getting started.
they have an ingenious idea how to fix the 'interest to infinity' debt slavery system that is broken atm .. they are going to print up some more euros and extend an emergency loan to greece but they have to promise to pay it back this time for real.. scouts honor. and then they plan to release a new fiat reserve currency which will be superior to all the rest since this new fiat reserve currency will not have cash. that will stop the bank runs once and for all. they don't need a blockchain. that would hamper their ability to steal (corruption) and to add more 1's and 0's to make more money on the fly. -5% interest rate to keep your money in the bank (like u got a choice in a cashless system). they can stretch that 'interest to infinity' debt slavery system out for at least another ten years.Very astute. The money doesn't matter. The amount they owe, it's flexible... they can negotiate. What is most important is that they continue to owe, and they continue to pay. It's not about dollars, or Euro, or Drachma. It's about power and control. It always is.

If three transactions per second is not enough, then there will grow an ecosystem of alt coins to pick up the slack. We will see exchanges grow that allow for easy transfer of value from one coin to the next and through this multi-coin environment, we can scale without limit.
There is no solution for one chain to hold all the transactions. Any proposal that suggests compromising the security, integrity, or distributed nature of bitcoin in order to gain some kind of imaginary "adoption" is an attack and should be treated as such.

precipitous dump
Or a low volume dump. Of course you'll get a pullback after a big price rise, every time. There's overarching supply to be worked out of the market because of profit taking. Once it's all absorbed, whoosh back up we go. Look at the volume compared to similar moves to the left and it will give you an idea of how much gasoline is behind it.

So if Greece makes a deal with the EU is that good or bad for bitcoin?
A meeting is supposed to take place today in Greece on that topic.
I guess it's somewhat irrelevant. It only matters if the Greeks want bitcoin. But the Euro declining does help people buy bitcoin. And Greece exiting the EU would help the Euro decline.

It doesn't matter too much although I'm sure some would sell expecting a drop. The price was ready to move up before the Greek drama, but the drama acted as a trigger for everyone who was out to jump back in and for whales to pump the price by taking bigger positions. It would have happened eventually. But the price is not directly being pumped by the Greeks, that is for sure. They are a very small percentage of the buyers. The long term trend for Bitcoin is up regardless of the drama in the world.

As far as I can tell, no one pays for coffee with bitcoin, and micro transactions are comparatively rare. And yet, here we are with full blocks, and very minimal global adoption. Consensus from the enlightened seems to be: Buy alts, short btc. (Or wait for our magic sidechain to solve it for you.)

IMHO, Greece & EU deal has a very small impact to BTC's price. The fact is that so many other things, are now ready to fall apart and they are much - MUCH bigger. Greece used to be the decoy that hid the main flaw of the ecosystem. Now that we're in front of a solution (whatever that might be), chances are we will have to face the music on a global scale. And NO, I don't think that "print more" will work this time... ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)
