Title: Swiss Lawmakers Propose Treating Bitcoin as Foreign Currency Post by: pabloangello on December 09, 2013, 08:06:55 PM "The Swiss Parliament is considering a postulate that asks for bitcoin to be treated as any other foreign currency. The goal of the postulate, introduced by representative Thomas Weibel, is to eliminate ambiguities and increase legal certainty related to bitcoin."

Title: Re: Swiss Lawmakers Propose Treating Bitcoin as Foreign Currency Post by: sana8410 on April 23, 2014, 08:44:07 AM the only people in Switzerland who know about bitcoin are “geeks, criminals and special police units” and that there is currently very little or no public discussion about digital currency.
Title: Re: Swiss Lawmakers Propose Treating Bitcoin as Foreign Currency Post by: counter on April 24, 2014, 08:14:31 AM some good news if you ask me. Something like this could get some attention of potential Swiss investors for sure. I'd like very much to see many BTC ATM's all over Switzerland.

Title: Re: Swiss Lawmakers Propose Treating Bitcoin as Foreign Currency Post by: counter on April 24, 2014, 08:28:11 AM so basically your telling me they don't yet know what is good for them, heh. jk
Title: Re: Swiss Lawmakers Propose Treating Bitcoin as Foreign Currency Post by: majorX on April 24, 2014, 08:36:48 AM So it basically mean allowing Swiss Banks mantaining Bitcoin accounts as a next currency ? It could open Bitcoin to fractional reserve banking :( but also 100K euro equivalent Bitcoin protection if the bank falls :)

Chine already bought down it to this level... I don't think it'll cause a big dip in price any further may be 300 but not below that but if some good news comes out bitcoin will recover to some extent..! Who will have more influence swiss or china?! ;D Title: Re: Swiss Lawmakers Propose Treating Bitcoin as Foreign Currency Post by: Lethn on May 05, 2014, 07:55:15 PM YAY!
