RE: Why Bitcoin’s Fixed Supply is Problematic - According to Yanis Varoufakis
But Greece was fucked either way... Don't you at least respect the way that he didn't want to hand over his people to the EU creditors, essentially forever?
Any idea how the dept was created ? Let me tell you from the inside . EU gave us a shitload of money and instead of using it to improve econemy it was turned into benefits for public sector and of course the private sector benefited equally and undeservingly.
Our current government , Varoufakis was minister of Economy, didn't want to continue the half assed almost decent work of the previous one and finish the greek program. They had other ideas. They didn't want to hand over to bad creditors.
Results : banks closed for the whole summer of 2015, we still have capital controls up to this day and accumulated another 100 billion in debt and they signed two more memorandums and Greece is under surveillance for the next 99 years.
Nice job Mr Minister !!!
I believe that all he wanted, was material for his next book. And I still wonder why he doesn't visit us and lives abroad...
How is the debt accumulated and abused by many governments Varoufakis' fault?
The problems were there long before Varoufakis had any influence. He just happened to be there when the house of cards collapsed.
Didn't say that. I said the previous government made a half assed almost decent job to short things out and they nearly made it, but Varoufakis party at that time Syriza forced elections in 2015 and came to power.
The problems were long before him and still exist.
He just happened to cause more problems in a very small time frame and he was the one the made the house of cards collapse.
He was 100% responsible for the closing of the banks for a good couple of months in 2015 and for capital controls that exist until today.
But at least he sold a lot of books...
