Alas I agree... the propoganda machine the Central banks control is just too powerful.

This is why I am skeptical of the currency collapse, not because I don't believe in the central bank infinity printing, but because I think the propaganda machine is too well tuned. 98% of world citizens just assume the news is telling them the truth  :-\  What can be done?  ???

EURCHF is right above the 1.20 floor set by Swiss National Bank. Right now is great time to buy into EURCHF because the SNB will not allow it to go below 1.20. A quick look at the order books shows 90% buy on it.

USA is still king. They can print the magic money and everyone accepts it due the dollar supremacy. Sad but true.

The dollar is being propped up, but eventually it will have to collapse under its own weight as debts and printing to pay turns into a vicious vortex.   In fact it is too late to save the dollar.  We are long past saving it, and can only delay the inevitable at best.  Metal backed currencies and crypto are then the only currency that will be trusted.

crypto currency would not be the only trusted currency, but as one of the trusted currencies. denationalisation of money would be the main trend.

Good for bitcoins and gold.  ;D

Swiss is so small.


Don't think it would make much difference.

Ummm..no?

Geographically, sure.

Economically? They are 37th in the world.

Whether anything regarding the OP's article has any effect whatsoever on Bitcoin, I have no idea. But to say Switzerland is "small", other than geographically, is just wrong.

I really need to stop reading this board. Some days I want Bitcoin to fail so that some of the people on this forum hang themselves.


I know I can be a little optimistic sometimes.  Too much so. 

But,... at some point an event such as this like with the Swiss, will make a huge move.  Maybe not, but that is the fun of the chase.

At some point in the future someone will get fantastically rich because they made a choice, not unlike buying just ONE bitcoin, that will make them rich for the rest of their lives.

A 'sure thing'?   Certainly not! 

No guts no glory.

Hahaha, I think you're right, governments buying bitcoins is not going to happen.  They may sieze them, but def not buy them

Thanks OP for bringing this!

I think the price of gold is going to go past ATHs and at the same time bitcoin would get a higher price because they have a higher correlation both of utility and price.
