Bitcoins are better for that matter since you don't have to worry so much about storage. You can easily cross a border with them. Or you can create a brainwallet (basically a passphrase that recreates a wallet), delete any data of the bit

Iceland is already a growing economy, while Greece, Spain and all the other troubled euro countries aren't.

Agreed. Except that new economic system already exists. It's called Bitcoin. Also, debt money isn't necessarily bad if it isn't controlled by politicians and bank oligarchs. Ripple is a good example of this.

I think for people living in Europe it makes more sense to use Bitcoin Central, since they accept SEPA transfers in euros without needing to convert them to dollars before buying bitcoins: https://bitcoin-central.net/ https://en.bitcoin.

This is not true. Currency depreciation leads to price inflation. That's why your dollars (or euros) buy less things year over year.

You don't need a bank for your bitcoins. You can keep them in your laptop or smartphone and the Government wouldn't even know you have it there. And even if they did they cannot force you to decrypt your hard drive. You can even keep you

> A new loan that can never be repaid, and its only purpose is to prevent an immediate default, it just as good as a default in my books. That's quite a stretch of the term "default". A default is when a debtor declares that he can't

That's not a default, it's a new loan. Answer this question: What percentage of Cyprus debt has been defaulted? That is, what percentage isn't going to be paid at all?

Can someone explain to me what happens with money people have in assets? If someone has an investing account that has money invested in stocks or ETFs, are those assets liquidated partially to pay up to the the 10% of the levy? Does only no

Yes and no. Governments are spending in bank bailouts, but there's austerity for the masses, like tax hikes and cuts in social spending.

Where's the default? I don't read anywhere that Cyprus is defaulting in part of its debt. EDIT: Why the downvote? Please explain what percentage of the debt is being defaulted, that is, what is the percentage of Cyprus debt that isn't goi

Or maybe people are just numb because of so many laws threatening our liberties simultaneously. There's just so much to protest against.

If you want a negative view on Bitcoin, the one from the Rational Wiki is pretty good: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Bitcoin Although after reading it I'm still convinced that Bitcoin is a good thing and that its use and value will go up.
