In multiple occasions, people which were facing big struggles in their countries turned to Bitcoin. It happened in Greece, in 2013
You are very right here! It happened in Greece and because it happened, our amazing contributor Andreas Antonopoulos got involved into Bitcoin. So far, Antonopoulos has made big educational contributions like his famous book "Mastering Bitcoin". I've saved a quote from him (but translated it into German and don't know where to find his original one, so here's just a somehow accurate translation, would be great if someone can find the original quote. I don't find it anymore.
). It was similar to the text below:
Quote
"If you go to an ATM today, use your card and withdraw your money, it is ultimately up to the bank whether you get the money or not. One day as people in Cyprus, Greece, Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and many more countries have discovered in recent decades and even centuries one day you go to your bank and the bank will not give you the money because it can't pay you. In such a situation, you are dependent on the bank, which has already happened to many millions of people. Bitcoin is fundamentally different, because in Bitcoin you owe nothing to anyone and nobody owes you anything. Bitcoin is not based on debt. Bitcoin is based on the ownership of coins owned by you. It's absolute ownership."
It's a very good quote pointing out his issue he had in Greece.
