I am not against taxation and social responsibility aspect but I don't want governments to control the wealth of the people. I am not sure how the ideal system form would be where there will be simple taxation system along with the freedom of holding & spending cryptocurrencies. Hopefully, we will be able to find a solution to this issue and it will help the governments across the world to deal with bitcoin and blockchain technology.

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.

http://www.coindesk.com/swiss-government-paving-way-bitcoin-blockchain-banks/

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.

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.

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 also like to work in Switzerland. I don't know why but whenever I saw Switzerland in the news, I dreamed of working and staying there for good. With regards to want country should be next to adopt bitcoin, more likely it will be Switzerland because by the looks for it, they are now making plans to accept in the coming years and it will be a bitcoin haven for many big time investor to keep their money there.

That's great.
It's a good initiative taken from the authority of Switzerland. I'm really optimistic about Bitcoin and I think that kind of news more gives credibility of my prediction.
More country should follow this trend and in this way Bitcoin will be spread out everywhere.

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"

For one. Retireing in a country thats expensive to live in, is extremely non economical and imho stupid. You want the most out of your retirement bucks.

Switzerland has always been a heaven for rich people to store their money hiding from their governments and avoiding taxes.

You have nailed it. Its the country bank law fiction to store the money in, not to live there. So the ATM machines are not going to accomplish anything.

Yeah sure those rich bastards may panic a little, because of the USA interventions, and some of them will buy assets like bitcoin or gold. But can any country be a haven for bitcoin? Why we need haven for bitcoin? Its not legalized yet so its haven is the world.

Yeah Switzerland is alway well know for such things. When money comes or something precious comes Switzerland is always there and it has to be there.  Grin Bitcoin is being accepted everywhere and that too anonymously. Why Switzerland would ever stop there. They will acquire a big empire of bitcoin to attract more customers and people will reach out there for their money's safety as always they have done when it comes to money which comes in bonds.  Cheesy

Well, I have an idea which I want to share

After the US government forced the Swiss banks to reveal information about their clients and their money, it might in fact have been the Swiss gnomes themselves who had hammered Bitcoin specifically to get rid of Uncle Sam's supervision, surveillance and control. If I were them I would certainly feel hurt, upset and humiliated when they had been literally made to disclose this info, so it shouldn't come as surprise that they eagerly welcome Bitcoin (even if it were not them after all who created Bitcoin)

Well it could be.

Switzerland banks has been famous for its secrecy. Hence, a lot of rich people have a bank account somewhere in Switzerland. They don't disclosed any information of the account holders name except for extreme cases like illegal activities or terrorist links. With the best banking strategy and most stable economy in the past years, Switzerland has emerged as the best option for banking service. However, I'm not aware of Uncle's Sam meddling of Swiss banks policy of non-disclosure, however if this is the case then maybe what you said may be very well true.

this was in the news. i didn't pay much attention to its details because i don't live in US and i don't have a swiss bank account Smiley
but US has forced Swiss banks to reveal all the information they have on every single bank account of US citizens there. i don't know how much of even if they resisted but in the end the agreement is like this:
Swiss banks automatically, without being asked, send all the financial details of their customers to US.

http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/banking-secrecy_swiss-parliament-clears-us-fatca-deal/36858508
While I was not aware of those news, I did not need it to see it, uncle sam has been trying to crack tax havens for decades and those small countries have done everything in their power to resist but it seems they are finally giving in but a new opportunity has open with bitcoin and I do not think they are not going to take advantage of it.

Quite interesting. USA now interfering with the Swiss banking system? But why? Why just now? You can't blame Switzerland then for acting like this. They maybe the second country behind Japan legalizing bitcoin(if not done already). Switzerland has been nuetral during WW2, but this time they are taking side, with bitcoin technology. I'm dreaming of staying in Switzerland, and this may be one reason I would move there.

No one knows that for sure

Well, someone (or a group of some) in the American establishment might in fact know the exact reasons for that, but we certainly won't find out. I guess the pretext is the same, i.e. terrorism financing, money laundering and similar bullshit. Personally, I think it could be the consequences of American citizens moving their money abroad from the American bank themselves to more reliable banks (that should count as capital flight). Obviously, the US government didn't quite like that and decided to put an end to this "nefarious" and "treacherous" practice of rich Americans hiding their wealth from Uncle Sam



And he wants you and all your coins

And thus Bitcoin was born

And that shouldn't be surprising because even Sir Isaac Newton as back as 300 years ago stipulated in his laws of motion that "when one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body". The most interesting part here is about the opposite direction, so when Uncle Sam decided to punish the Swiss gnomes, he should have expected that his attack will backfire eventually and likely with a vengeance across all countries and even in the US itself

Switzerland has always been a heaven for rich people to store their money hiding from their governments and avoiding taxes.Its quite natural for switzerland to show green flag to bitcoin which is pseudo anonymous.Switzerland has already enjoying the benefits from huge money stored by rich people from different parts of the world and since bitcoin is the new choice of rich people,they don't want to miss this chance too.But i don't think that they will not levy taxes on our purchases.

It is not very surprising that bitcoin will sprout in Switzerland since the government itself started to accept bitcoin as a form of payment to goverment services then the people will also follow. The decision of the state will not just increase the number of bitcoin users but rather increase the trust and confidence of the public to use bitcoin in their daily lives.
