How is BTC being accepted in Greece SS?
There used to be a rage around here last year.. everybody (!? means the few that had heard about bitcoin) went off to buy graphics cards and build mining rigs..
But eventually they turned to selling them when the rates dropped..
As for acceptance.. I guess more than 90% are completely unaware of crypto-currencies..
The rest are too afraid to touch it and some 1% (including me) may be actually be using it as a secondary currency..
But there are actually some Greek e-shops accepting it as a means of payment.. though countable using our fingers.
One reason for not being too loud about it here is the taxes matter...
If they decide to tax transactions through BTC we're doomed..
Regular tax amount in Greece is 24%.. which is why very few companies survive the legal way.
If BTC grows more stable it could prove to be a tax haven for us.. but we're still far from it being accepted massively.
