Title: [2016-01-02] 'CryptoValley Zug' well positioned to become the Silicon Valley...
Post by: shane on January 02, 2016, 12:38:15 PM
Just 25 km south of Zurich, Switzerland, is a small and picturesque town named Zug. At least 15 businesses in the industry, including Xapo, Monetas, Ethereum, and ShapeShift have made “CryptoValley Zug” their home.

It’s not too hard to see why. Zug is breathtakingly beautiful, is easy for foreigners to move to, has low taxes, a tradition of privacy, some of the world’s best regulations for FinTech, and a great support community of FinTech businesses that help each other out at meetup groups and conferences in the area.

Careful what you wish for. It's sooo fkn cold only an eskimo would enjoy it there.
Going outside for a smoke is a dangerous experience :)

Not to mention that living anywhere in Switzerland requires a pretty penny. There's a reason for it, its a form of immigration control (either intended or coincidental), and the fact that the Swiss depegged from the dropping-anchor-Euro. If you like being frozen and paying high prices (nominally compared to other currencies) then be my guest. Proclaiming success before you've even made it out of the gate in a new location doesn't exactly inspire confidence, either.

But what else do you expect from people "talking their book" about a bunch of startups. Probably a few guys crammed into an expensive rental space cheering each other for being so damned smart. (Typical startup myopia, in other words.)
