I think that sooner or later (4 months - 4 years...) Greece will exit the Eurozone. Once this happens the future of the whole Eurozone will be on a very thin line..This will be the biggest opportunity for all crypto and especially for BTS. We better be fully ready with fiat gateways, ATMs, web wallets when this happen...People will desperately need crypto banking solutions...
Regarding Varoufakis...I was a student of Varoufakis at the Uni a decade ago. He is a very nice guy and quite open minded and always discussed all kind ideas with students. He is trying to fight austerity and I think his recent negotiations (even if he didn't accomplish much) were quite brave...very dangerous but still brave. I think it does worth to throw him a couple of emails about BTS. You never know..he might actually like them..Nothing to lose there...He wasn't in favor of bitcoin (and I can't blame him there from an economic perspective) but that doesn't mean he will be against BTS from an economic perspective...If he is against the idea and imposes restrictions to Greeks from using BTS, BTS will not be hurt since apparently we are only a couple using them right now.If he does like them then this will be huge publicity and more Greeks might start using them..
I wouldn't mind to throw him some emails but I would rather someone else more experienced and better with words does that or draft me some emails and I can send them on our community behalf..Since I am Greek he might take more attention from emails coming from a Greek..I am terrible explaining things to people. My arguments usually are "this is great just do it and don't think about it..lol.."
Do you have access to his email address? The only ways of contact I see are via his website
http://yanisvaroufakis.eu/form/ and on twitter. Let's come up with some idea's and draft a nice email.
-Greece has a very large population of educated youth that can understand blockchain technology. Why not provide new businesses with tax incentives or full support to perform blockchain activities? Exchanges, gateways, seminars, ATM's etc... I am not very familiar with Greek banking laws however banks are often closing accounts associated with Bitcoin and perhaps he can push them to support these businesses in Greece. Even if he could CLEARLY state where Greece stands on crypto currency and what is allowed or not allowed would help people do business within Greece.
-He appears to like the blockchain technology just not Bitcoin as a currency itself. The blockchain can be used for things such as tracking government spending. If he is in such support of "the people" this would be a great start and once again Greece would be 1st to bring democracy back into the world.
-He is a blogger himself thus it would be a great start if Dan or Stan started responding to his blog posts and tweets. This could open a dialogue for future conversation.
