All fiat currencies are inflationary, it's something of a design goal, deflation being a greater fear than inflation. A tourist economy isn't likely to be in sync with the industrials in terms of it's particular needs.
Man they rejected the offer on the table

No to the EU austerity measures.
As to who deserves what, I'd say there is plenty of blame to go around for the politicians and bankers on all sides on of this. They can cry in their champagne.
One size doesn't fit all, so it should come as no surprise that a currency made for industrial nations doesn't work so well for a tourist economy.
Bitcoin is hip, it's new, it's not your dads money.
If you use bitcoin you're part of the future not part of the past.
You want to be part of the future, cutting edge don't you ?
That's the fashionable crowd.

IIRC correctly ours managed to last a fair amount of time as well.
Hughes Aerospace even claimed an export credit for some of the parts. (Yes conniving on the intent of laws is not a new sport)
When you think of space colonization, you very likely think of the important things that humans need for life:
water,
sunlight,
the right temperatures,
sources of food,
sources of energy,
and the ability to create or exist in a self-sustaining ecosystem.
Well not having an atmosphere that consists of 900 degree sulfuric acid also comes to mind.
At least with the moon or mars you aren't quite that dependent on active no fail technology to keep you alive.
But the people writing the algorithm and choosing the input data *can* be racist.
Call the grand scrutinizer and ready the scourges.
And even in the absence of malice, you can create racist outcomes.
The universe didn't agree with a totalitarian's philosophy.
