I use to watch the price of bitcoin and gold to judge the impact level of such news on the world's economy: https://markets.blockchain.info/ https://markets.bl

  Bitcoin is not super affected because people are fleeing to the Euro.

    There was a spike in Bitcoin prices when Cyprus, another EU member state, imposed capital controls during a potential default and driving Bitcoin prices up 400%. Greece is following almost the exact same path, limiting bank withdrawals to €60 per day.

      How would you transfer money into a bitcoin wallet when the withdrawals are that limited?

        It's very hard -- there's only one Bitcoin ATM in all of Greece and six businesses to spend it at -- but Bitcoin exchanges are reporting huge spikes in Greek usage: http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/29/technology/greece-bitcoin/ http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/29/technology/greece-bitcoin/

  Also maybe the move was anticipated.

    That's my take too and all risks were already estimated and priced in. Unfortunately that does not takes into account the risks to well being for the people of Greece.

  The movements happened about 24 hours ago as far, as far as I can tell. http://i.imgur.com/11Zt5xf.png http://i.imgur.com/11Zt5xf.png
