Hey and the journalist used the Android app to do it. Awesome Smiley I'm happy we were able to get a really fast SPV mobile wallet out before the press cycle ended. I was working on that like crazy a couple of months ago and seeing this kind of coverage in my local paper makes it all worthwhile. Great work zubir, Rolf and Andreas!

i think they got many bad replies on these articles from a few days ago, so they made a better one:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/2013-04-12-bitcoin-article-in-three-swiss-newspapers-german-176530

but i agree that swiss banks and swiss banking policy are forced to change their mind.
i've heard that they're waching bitcoin and are running some tests to include it into new financial products.

Makes sense that they eventually embrace bitcoin.  Switzerland has a long tradition of banking privacy which has been very much forcefully stretched, lately.
