Hindsight is 20/20. The Greeks needed to get into Bitcoin a couple of years ago. It's too late for them.
Aye. Totally agreed there.
Bitcoin isn't even close to being ready to replace the currency in even the smallest national economy anyway. I've seen estimates of current Bitcoin users numbering 500k to one million. Imagine 11 million people jumping on the system real quick. Not a pretty picture.
Bitcoin was never designed to replace any currency. It's not designed to allow me to buy a bottle of water at 7/11 for $0.50. However, it is an excellent way to store and send / receive wealth. That's what it was designed for, and it does that perfectly IMO. It's the same as pulling my monthly salary out. Most people have their salaries deposited into their bank accounts, whereas I just pull mine out from my Bitcoin wallet. That's what it was intended for, and it does its job remarkably well.
