Well, there's a Greek saying that goes like this:
"Among the funny things, pretty serious things are spoken"
Except you don't believe in "conspiracy theories"... Here's a nice one for you then.
If you ask me, yes; I believe that Greece should be the 1st one to incorporate BTC as a second currency. This way Gresham's law will take over and the debt will be eliminated (BTC=Non inflationary, EUR=inflationary). One after another the other -in debt- countries will follow... EU will be the 1st continent to test the new digital currency as it was the 1st one to test the EURO.
Too crazy to be real?
Remember: Fantasy has limits; Reality has not.
Generally, it's bad idea for a state to switch from fiat to bitcoin: they wouldn't be able to print money anymore. While printing money is important (and sometimes even major) part of their income. All states prefer fiat to bitcoin. However, a state-traitor that adopts bitcoin first, would reap huge benefits of it's to-the-moon rise. IMO, the time for it has not come yet, but in a year or two ..."Among the funny things, pretty serious things are spoken"

Unfortunately you're right. Nevertheless, Greece (and any EU country, AFAIK) cannot "print" money anyway. Only ECB & M. Draghi can. In any case I too believe the catalyst will be the country adoption, not the coin itself. I agree that it's a bit early to see such a move right now; but still...
