This may be one reason why gold will never see 2000 again. There are other stores of $ that are independent of any single currency.

Is Bitcoin the new Gold?

The CNN article is total bullshit, the Greeks aren't buying bitcoin:

"Enter Greece. A country with 0 bitcoin exchanges, 1 bitcoin atm, and 7 localbitcoins.com traders! "

There is already a cashless currency in place:

Well someone is happy to dump their BTC to the Greeks because the price hasn't budged this calendar year.
