This is awesome. The new innovation for Bitcoin is coming. And i have read an article about new bitcoin shopping mall in Paris. Two good news about Bitcoin in one day. Keep rising, Bitcoin, bring the profit to me. I hope that one day my country will also open the Crypto bank system like Switzerland

Somehow I expected something like that from them. People tend to think that the American dollar is the most reliable currency in the world while, in fact, it is actually the Swiss franc which is at the top of all fiat currencies out there. Paper Swiss francs have the highest level of protection and are the hardest to counterfeit (with the Euro being the second best in this department). Swiss gnomes also love gold, so no surprise that they seem to have fallen in love with Bitcoin too. I guess we should expect a new round of Bitcoin price rise in the nearest future...

Especially if events continue to unfold in this direction

If this is not a fake news, then just wow!

Looks like it is not fake news,Switzerland is somehow integrated with EU but is independent,but already swiss regulators gave green light for dgital currencys companys,i think uk will follow.UK is very much aware of digital currencys value,
Super news

It really does sound like Switzerland could lead the way in Bitcoin in the near future.
How hard can it be to run a bitcoin bank? No fractional reserve, so just keep people's money in safe wallets.

I guess many have failed with that last part, but a government or bank should be able to secure some Bitcoin wallets!

This is so nice and a very good news to bitcoin community, that's why bitcoin become more valuable this days and its continue rising. And the idea of this crypto-bank will make bitcoin to forget the power of anonymity because you have to give your personal details to open an account in this bank, but I'm sure your bitcoin will be safe there.

[Yakamoto]

Holy crap Switzerland is super dedicated to getting Bitcoin rolling within their economy.

If anything I would be quite worried that it is being implemented so widely to be honest; it's not often that you hear about some relatively obscure currency originally used for darknet purchases being implemented in one of the banking hubs around the world.

Someone should look into large Bitcoin purchases being made...

If I'm not mistaken switzerland is a rich country. so if they adopt bitcoin as currency, probably it will be easier for them to be more rich.

well OP said "let's open bank account with BTC in Switzerland". is it possibble to make bank account online? because I am far away from Switzerland. haha

I don't think the two can merge. Banks are never going to be anonymous - they want to keep track of their own users, so if you're looking for anonymity then you're in the wrong place, I guess. If you'd make an account in their bank, it means your anonymity is going to be completely gone because they're looking to control as much as they can.

From the article seems that is only a proposal and let's see when it get approved and applied in the real life.

I think that these two recent news are making the bitcoin price to rise to the moon, and I like the charts when there are green color.

Well it looks like we're the new wealthy elite,  gentlemen.   Lol.

Nice to see bitcoin in the mainstream,  and the Swiss have always been a little more financially enlightened than the rest of the world.   Still going to keep BTC in my own wallet no matter how many banks get wise.

I cannot actually believe that this is being reported. I'm not 100% convinced that this is 100% true, but if I start hearing more about it I'll be a lot more inclined to believe it, and this is absolutely huge news. The Central Bank bending the knee and considering Bitcoin as a currency it will allow is something I simply cannot believe as an actual event occurring. I haven't been here long, but it's still insane.

They are talking about a new type of bank - crypto bank. It could be a fancy name for an entity which is isolated from the current financial system. We will have to wait and see how this evolves.

[outatime1]

Maybe this is why the price has risen some today. I think any positive news like this will affect the value.

[X-ray]

as i've read they're opening cryptobank,which maybe could accept crypto coin not only bitcoin but another altcoins,i guess there might be some sort of pump in btc price,prepare yourself by the way,but i'm curious whether bitcoin had been legalized yet in there?

...

Switzerland is a very advanced country with an excellent understanding of everything financial.  I am not surprised that they are among the leaders in identifying BTC opportunities.

Makes me want to go back there, it has been a long time.

It's a beautiful and safe country, highly recommended for travel & tourism.  And if they make it easy to buy BTC, well, book me a ticket and a hotel room!

[lionheart78]

I read the article and think that this is a great news for bitcoin. With this another set of bitcoin hype and positive speculation will fill the bitcoin society.  Not only that a government supporting cryptobank but applying it to daily transaction is the best way to spread crypto usage.

Indeed those who have understanding in finances will see bitcoin potential, and the advantages bitcoin can bring if they adopt its technology.

Definitely bitcoin price increase will be observed.

Yes, any good news or even speculation will affect bitcoin price. Also aside from switzerland, I thik India last days also helps propel bitcoin price, the Brexit, the Amercan elections, and Netherlands I think. So much good news already and we are nearing $800 dollars now.

May be but there will be no any exact reason for any price pump.

Actually this news shows the open mind of swiss government towards bitcoin, crypto-bank concept can be considered as nice step towards better adoption and usability of bitcoin however we may loss privacy on using those crypto-banks.
