“The Finance Minister of Greece’s new radical left-wing government, while at the center of anti-austerity financial policy, is in no way optimistic about Bitcoin, it has emerged. In an article on his website blog from April 2013, Yanis Varoufakis discusses the ‘impossibility’ of a decentralized currency being controlled ‘apolitically,’ and describes this as a ‘dangerous fantasy.’ He stated: ‘[T]here can be no de-politicized currency capable of ‘powering’ an advanced, industrial society.’ Varoufakis has inherited Europe’s worst-performing economy, and will seek to end the austerity measures put in place by the previous Greek government following the 2008 financial crisis.”
