The current position for spending online will boost the cryptocurrency in the country. It seems that Bitcoin will fill the current gap and fulfill the desires of the Greek people. The crypto community is welcoming this initiative because it can pump the price value of the Bitcoin and can influence it to go for a higher position.
A blockchain enthusiast and supporter of cryptocurrency, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, welcomed this and encouraged planB to come to Greece as well.
Time for plan B in Greece too. The war on cash and the desire for surveillance and control just escalated. WTF!

The Bitcoin has also supported the countries in the past that were facing the inflation state. A perfect example of this is Venezuela where people also helped the state by donating in cryptocurrency. But the Greece case is somewhat different where the government is officially asking people to use electronic transactions system and gap is expected to fulfill by the cryptocurrency including Bitcoin.
