Still, give Greece time to learn about bitcoin, time to welcome new alternatives to purchase bitcoin and time for capital controls on banks to be lifted. Only then will we start to see the link between Greece and bitcoin strengthen. In the meantime watch the price continue to rise as the rest of the world learns about the risk involved when you trust a government with your life savings.

it's not about Greeks buying bitcoin. it's about the western world seeing what a depositor haircut/intensive capital controls looks like. it's about putting the fear of government default at the forefront. this is what could get people interested in bitcoin. and this will hopefully be much bigger than the population of Greece.
