That's exactly I anticipated, if lot's of people have the ability to work but kicked out of the current system due to less access to loan and technology, they will get their own economy running by using another currency

Good chance for BTC, but how to advertise BTC in Greece? Do they have a forum in their native language?

we didn't need to....
It seems that we are capable of understanding other languages too.... or none of the greek users had/has the time to moderate it

Greeks are inventing a new currency. They should try Bitcoin.

@ffe do not believe everything that you read. Because a newspaper like guardian published it , it does not mean that its true.

now.. on the topic.
As much as i enjoy the bitcoin project , you can understand that its still immature(there are no applications, ease of use) for use in everyday transactions. A 50-60-70... yr old cannot use / understand this "bitcoin thingie", they do not own a computer and so on.
Although it would be an interesting project, in real world terms its too soon for something like this.
If you manage to say educate your grandparents to make/accept payments buy showing a qrcode in their smartphone , we could start discussing about it. until then, stop spreading fud
