Bitcoin Transactions Surge to Record Highs amid Greece Crisis
The number of Bitcoin transactions surged to a new record high Tuesday, dwarfing previous peak activity including that seen during the Mt. Gox implosion in December 2013.
A new record

A high of 442 transactions per second was recorded for July 7 - approximately two times the average rate of the PayPal network at ~289 tps.

A sudden surge over the two days from July 5 saw the number of daily transactions more than quadruple to reach a maximum 202,000 before starting to fall. A previous, less intense surge had begun June 30; something commonly attributed to news of Greece’s potential insolvency and renewed capital controls.
