Prime minister of Greece, Alexis Tzipras has signed a compromise with Eurozone leaders. Bitcoin enthusiasts use the demonstrations in Athens to spread the leaflets on bitcoins. The first Bitcoin Meetup will start in the Greek capital today.

A group of enthusiasts printed 400 leaflets on bitcoin one day before the meetup. One of them acting under the alias “bitcoin-traveler” published the photos on Reddit. 

The leaflet depict an anarchist who throws bitcoin against the globe. 

“Greece! Now is the right time for plan B,” says the message in Greek.

Bitcoiners distributed the leaflets at and around Syntagma square in Athens. They put posters on several ATM machines (from which Greeks can withdraw no more than 60 euros a day).

“I was surprised by the interest. I've never dealt flyers before but I know that in my country 8/10 people don't bother reading handouts ever. Here people even came towards me to get a copy. Lots of questions were asked and answered,” says bitcoin-traveler.

Reddit users supported the idea and began a long and lengthy debate on the proper form of the leaflet, making the discussion one of the most popular on Reddit.

This June, Bitcoin experts predicted the popularity boom for Bitcoin in Greece. In June, enthusiasts installed a first bitcoin ATM in the bookshop some 30 minutes away from the Athens’ city centre. On 11 July, Catalonian Company installed another bitcoin ATM at the Center of Innovations in the Greek capital.
