Newspaper yesterday highlighted an increase of 1K Swiss franc note withdrawn as safekeeping over the last months.

Are you sure you meant 1K? That should be a rounding error...

I am very sure indeed. What kind of rounding error is possible anyway?

Poland here.

"Haha, we are soo poor, there is nothing to take from here. We are safe in our Green Island as our beloved PM likes to say!
The rich ones are not keeping their money here anyway"

PS
Green Island for Poland comes from 2009 when all EU countries GDP change was negative, except Poland
They used to show on TV a map of Europe with GDP % change for all countries and the negative was showed in red and positive in green.
They did show it often and comment it with pride that we are a Green Island in EU.
But there was one more green country on this map back then - Greece Cheesy

I live in France, and something you hear a lot (mainly because that's what the medias says) is "Won't happen to us. We are in France for fuck sake. We are not a tax heaven for laundering money for the russian mob".
Delusion is still working well Wink

Precisely!
I also live in France and that's the feeling I get. Many colleagues of mine (computer people, you know, those who live in the Internetz...) weren't even aware of what's going on. I'm the one who brings the subject up most frequently. People here don't seem to be worried at all.
It seems many French citizens believe that France is somehow immune to all these Euro-zone turmoils ("Quand même, on est en France!"). I think they should review their beliefs for their own sake...

Swiss here.
The news is that the banking sector was too big for the small population...
With that logic, Switzerland is pretty doomed.

Newspaper yesterday highlighted an increase of 1K Swiss franc note withdrawn as safekeeping over the last months.

This Cypriot deal is made by Central Europeans and not Cyprus and goes to show the problem is here and not there.

I feel and know the EU, Euro is on it's way out. The dawn is rising and we need to get started and continue building our economy around that fact.

Blessings to Cyprus

I am uk, so only a plastic European. I'm unconcerned on a selfish "I'm not directly affected" level. I feel sad for the people in Cyprus because I think they are being robbed. I don't feel overly surprised, I'm pretty cynical where govt and finance are concerned. I'm not full on conspiracy theorist (though its all relative) but I fully beleive there is corruption at every level that drives the craziness we see in the global economy

To this end I try and protect myself. BTC is just one way (and seems to be more viable hedge/protection if wealth each passing day)

You're not going to get a very good sample asking people on the Bitcoin forum!

"Europe" is also a relatively big place...

Yeah, I want to know reactions from all kinds of people, e.g., how does a German think when compared to a Spanish, different people have different vested interests.

Could the European residents on this forum tell us the reactions from you friends/acquaintances/family members, after hearing about this?
