Topic: Switzerland as a bitcoin haven - page 2. (Read 3117 times)
Already switzerland is well known for its banks which does not give any details of its customers to any country.So,lots of money flow from all over the world towards swiss banks.It seems that they don't want to be late in adopting the newer technology bitcoin.Bitcoin payments can be made for any government works in switzerland here after.
Switzerland was a save haven for major business magnets and illegal holders for a very long time and they usually accept everything with both arms and it is not a big surprise that they are accepting bitcoin,we are seeing more countries accepting bitcoin and it is a really good thing for the community and hope to hear more positive news in the future.
The Swiss connection and banking secrets are top notch and so I expect Bitcoin to grow and be deep rooted there and spread across the rest of Europe.
it is really a good news for us who are engaged in bitcoin, hopefully, it starts strongly, is bitcoin could cover in Europe then it will be a great achievement for becoming a global currency.
so let's see what will happen....

At this point Europe will take some time before they will follow the footsteps of Switzerland. But I can see asia as having the most potential for bitcoin offline transactions. We do have Japans adoption of bitcoin last april and it made a huge impact on bitcoins price and soon other asian countries will also follow Japan. By next month Australia will follow the lead of Japan and it will be the spark that will soon lit a fire in the whole Australian continent.
I'm tempted to agree that Switzerland will be a safe haven for Bitcoin due to their secured banking record and so we should spearhead bitcoins usage in Switzerland the most and it will likely be induced on other European countries.
Sometimes back, I read Switzerland railway is going to accept bitcoins or their postal department is going to sell bitcoin or something similar to that. But I was not seeing any big impact those news actually would have done like how Japan's stand is right now doing. Many European governments made their stand against bitcoin like treating it as digital asset in 2013 and 2014 but none of them had made any big impacts.
I welcome Switzerland to be bitcoin heaven after being a safe heaven for world black economy. I wish at least in coming years Europe to influence into bitcoin economics.

They're a country with great wealth, a high degree of educated people and low crime rates. If what they're doing is working why wouldn't other countries just adapt to something similar. Having an open mind allows you to move forward as a society. If you're close minded you'll never look into bitcoins because "it's for criminals".
Sweden really is an open-minded country with open-minded people. Those who accept Bitcoin are open-minded being for they see the good things and bad things alike and weight them. It is not Bitcoin itself is the one who is dangerous or criminal because anything can either be used good or bad and legal or illegal activity which really depends on the person who is holding it. By the help of government and developers, we can put rules and order so that it will not be used in these not so attractive ways.
Sweden isn't Switzerland. They are 2 different country. Take a worldmap. Sweden is north of Europe, Switzerland is the little one between France and Germany

Countries are accepting bitcoin slowly but surely. Japan, Australia on 1st of july, Swiss companies accepting bitcoin all together. I just hope that small businesses start accepting bitcoin, cuz I'm still waiting for the day to buy coffee with btc.

Sounds cool when Switzerland comes up with something new as it has done always in the past. It is well known for black money and wallet of richest persons in the world. Bitcoins are in the queue really to enter into Switzerland world where it will be grown like their own currency and fat wallet storage.
If Switzerland does really adopt bitcoin prepare yourself for the price to go to the moon, the swiss franc is one of the most solid currencies if they adopt bitcoin you can be sure the world is going to listen to this and everyone will begin to think of bitcoin as a very good currency too.
My plan after high school, I will lecture at the Switzerland . I think this is a good thing, I'm hoping if I study in Switzerland could pay the tuition with bitcoin so people my parents would send money via bitcoin.
That is a nice plan but before that could happen the price of bitcoin could be very high and the schools in your are will be accepting bitcoins a a mode of payment for the tuition. If in case that could happen that your hometown becomes a bitcoin haven like Switzerland will you still go to Switzerland to study and teach there. Switzerland is really the first country to ever used and accepts bitcoin in daily lives and it was followed by Japan I wonder what country will be the next bitcoin haven
I guess we should still wait and see
It is not yet known how things are going to pan out with Bitcoin in Japan in the long run or what events are set to unfold in the future. Indeed, Bitcoin is being heavily pumped right now with likely a lot of generic folks being attracted to it. But when Bitcoin as per usual goes for correction in due course (which seems to be inevitable), it may cause panic selling between grandmas and grandpas that invested their savings in Bitcoin recently. Naturally, many die-hard Bitcoin traders and speculators will be quite happy to shake the coins from the weak hands, but that might still have negative consequences over the long term as well as backfire on further "bitcoin havens" or "heavens"
The backfire you mentioned will take long years to happen and the dump of bitcoins from weak hands will not take long since there are many catchers waiting for the dump as we speak. By next month Australia will going to adopt bitcoins and it will cause another opportunity to increase the number of bitcoin users that will affect the bitcoins price to spike again
There is no contradiction in my post
It may take long and it may take a few months (or even weeks), these are not two mutually exclusive events. Right now, we may see a small correction since the price is not very high as of yet (in comparison to what insane crowds of grandmas and grandpas could drive it to), so few hands will be shaken, and, as you said, there are too many knife catchers waiting in the bush for the price to get dumped (I hope for 1,200 dollars per coin, personally). But this element will always be there, at least, as long as Bitcoin remains a purely financial asset

It is good to know having a lot of countries adapting Bitcoin like and other more. This is a good opportunity to distribute Bitcoin through out the world rather than having one country manipulating Bitcoin. This is also a good popularity boost and will attract more users and thus Bitcoin will become more solid like not worrying too much to wake up with Bitcoin just gone or dropt to a price of $4.
Do you know if there's a way to open a bank or swisspost account in Switzerland without being resident but European citizen?
Did you also notice some of the cryptocurrency foundations are registered in Switzerland? Ethereum one of the biggest in the altcoin field right now is registered in Switzerland. There might be others following.
Are Swiss laws more lenient?

I believe Switzerland is going to become a bitcoin paradise country where everyone with BTC will go there and retire. In years time, Switzerland will give full support to bitcoiners, so you will be able to buy anything you want with bitcoin without the need to pay any taxes. ATM bitcoin machines everywhere.
There are already ATM machines in every location you can imagine.

They are obviously building the infrastructure to attract bitcoin holders there. We saw how bank secrecy is a failure with the leaks of bank accounts from lots of people. I think those famous idiots with lots of money will learn about bitcoin and start using it to hide their money from governments, and this will push the price up big time.

Switzerland will give support to bitcoin only if there is some benefit.
The benefit for the country comes with taxation.
I think that offshore islands are a better bitcoin heaven.
This is a very simplified approach and attitude
It might have been true a few hundred years ago but this is not the case in modern times. In today's complicated world, this might not work anymore. For example, when Internet had just started in the early 1990's, Internet browsers like Netscape had been actually sold for money. Now this is no longer the case, and what seems to be more important, the very idea that someone wanted money for a browser is hard to grasp today
