But that's not what's happening at this moment. If you choose to do nothing, you still keep your $1.00 debt. Until now, Greece didn't miss a single payment. It's not making it mandatory to accept the 20% cut. It's not downgrading any promise for holders that choose to do nothing. Nor did it fail to pay its matured debt until now.
It's just offering additional guarantees (which were not present in the initial debt agreement) at a specific cost (a 20% cut or a longer maturity date) for those that want to enter willingly into such transactions.
