Yeah, April Fools day, but the idea is awesome and also that Varoufakis has Bitcoin on his radar is nice. It could be interesting to buy an amount of €1-10m just in case...
He has been learning about bitcoin and even said this about it:

What is Bitcoin (or BTC for short)?

It is a beautiful algorithm.

If Einstein, von Neumann and Nash were the beautiful minds of the 20th Century, BTC is the 21st Century’s beautiful algorithm. A brilliant answer in search of a worthy question. A breath-taking solution to as yet undiscovered problems! But democratising and de-politicising money will not be one of them, I am afraid. It will not replace government issued money and it is not about to enfranchise the world’s billions that live in poverty, contrary to the lofty pronouncements of its evangelists.
