cypriot

When the Cypriot government tried to take 6% of everyone's bank accounts there were riots in the streets.

My belief is that the most close modern dialect is the Cypriot since it's the most melodic and rhythmic.

Others, like a Cypriot savings account a few years ago, or an account at MtGox for that matter, did not.

International finance scammers fucked the Cypriot economy, and then the pro-austerity EU forced all Cypriots to choke down the bailout.

So Greeks were lazy taxes dodgers, Spaniards had plenty of hidden money, all Cypriot money was from the Russian crime lords,...

Very funny, for example, to watch Germany go all crazy against private money in Cypriot banks but ignore Switzerland and Luxemburg ones.

Cyprus instilled this program to placate Russian millionaires who lost a boatload of parked/stashed money in the great Cypriot bank debacle of 2012/13.

And weren't a lot of the people who were hit by the levy on deposits actually non-Cypriots using Cypriot banks as tax havens?

That deal on Cypriot citizenship seems like a pretty good deal though.

But if you're a Cypriot with $50m to park, buying treasuries looks attractive relative to Eurobonds or Cypriot banks, and continues to look attractive even if prices rise to the point where the interest rate is moderately negative.

The Cypriot crisis and Apple's decision to take out a huge loan rather than on-shore some offshore cash both provide further spice to the present arrangement.

In Cyprus's case, the ECB offered an ultimatum that threatened to blow up the Cypriot economy literally 2 hours after the new prime minister had been elected into office.

The Greek Cypriot language has a similar word "Hasura" which means waste, possibly also from Spanish influences.

Unfortunately, we may be close to running out of techno-libertarian suckers and Russian/"Cypriot" mobsters.

Cypriot central banks’ need to sell off some its gold reserves to pay for its bailout..." What wasn't mentioned was Japanese selling of gold since it has risen to all-time highs vs.

You do realize that that happened, and could only happen, because a large number of people believed the Cypriot currency was in fact not likely to remain "valueless" seeing as how it was still the sovereign currency of Cyprus, and were willing to exchange at least Bitcoin to hold it.
