Bitcoin in Greece

Digital Planet

Available for over a year

Greeks are turning to the decentralised crypto-currency Bitcoin. It is money that is entirely digital and exists as strings of encrypted numbers on volunteers’ computers around the world. Being decentralised like this keeps it out of the reach of regulators. Andreas Antonopoulos speaks to Click about the role it might play during the current Greek fiscal difficulties.
