Nowadays digital transactions are part of our everyday life. The info-communication globalisation becomes a fact of life for civil society worldwide, involving many actors – politicians, activists, non-governmental organisations, info-communication firms, software providers and political parties. This raises obvious questions for the role of new communications technologies, the recent Greek crisis, the info-communication public sphere, participatory democracy and the digital form of currencies. As the info-communication public sphere gets more complex and chaotic, regular citizens/users/consumers are gaining access to digital entertainment, information and education anywhere and at anytime. This chapter examines and analyses the role of the info-communication globalisation in recent Greek crisis. It introduces the info-communication public sphere and the participatory democracy as analytical ‘tools’ to examine the Greek crisis. Moreover, it analyses the Greek crisis together with the recent crisis in the USA. Finally, it strongly recommends that a practical way for Greece and the USA to emerge from the recent crisis is: to switch off the physical form of the Euro and dollar currencies, i.e. the cash payments using different currencies such as the Euro and the Dollar and switch on the digital form of single currency the Global Info-Cash (GIG), i.e. the info-cash payment using the digital subdivision of the Global Info-Cash, such as Info-CashGR and Info-CashUSA.
