It is your prerogative to believe me or not, as you wish.

The amount of propaganda on this crisis has reached ridiculous proportions. All the news in the west contain German talking points as if all the money in Cypriot banks come from Russia. Absurd. Cypriots need equal time regarding this and the invasion of this island....give us a voice you hypocrites!

So uh, is anyone else a proud owner of BoC or is it just me in this forum? Shares seem to be worthless now but one day in the future ... ehh whatever.

You are upset because we are not showing more pain?

Well hard luck.

If waiting outside an ATM to get cash is suffering, what is starvation in Africa? :lol:

If more pain is what he is seeking then this may be a good read....

'I went to sleep Friday as a rich man. I woke up a poor man'

''Very bad, very, very bad,'' says 65-year-old John Demetriou, rubbing tears from his lined face with thick fingers. ''I lost all my money.''
John now lives in the picturesque fishing village of Liopetri on Cyprus' south coast. But for 35 years he lived at Bondi Junction and worked days, nights and weekends in Sydney markets selling jewellery and imitation jewellery.
He had left Cyprus in the early 1970s at the height of its war with Turkey, taking his wife and young children to safety in Australia. He built a life from nothing and, gradually, a substantial nest egg. He retired to Cyprus in 2007 with about $1 million, his life savings.
He planned to spend it on his grandchildren - some of whom live in Cyprus - putting them through university and setting them up. There would be medical bills; he has a heart condition. The interest was paying for a comfortable retirement, and trips back to Australia. He also toyed with the idea of buying a boat.

He wanted to leave any big purchases a few years, to be sure this was where he would spend his retirement. There was no hurry. But now it is all gone.
''If I made the decision to stay, I was going to build a house,'' John says. ''Unfortunately I didn't make the decision yet.
''I went to sleep Friday as a rich man. I woke up a poor man.''
His money was all in the Laiki ''Popular'' Bank which was the main casualty of Cyprus' bailout package set by the European Union. Laiki is to be dismantled. Savings of less than €100,000 are to move to the Bank of Cyprus. Anything more than that will almost certainly be wiped out as the bank is wound down, its remaining assets taken by the bank's creditors.

That’s the BoC at the little square that splits Ledra st with Onasagorou st.
