unconfiscatable, unrehypothicatable, un-bail-in-able, uninflatable and unbetrayable
It is safer than a Swiss Bank when it comes to all the corruption associated with the modern banking system.
Much safer than a Swiss Bank from being Enron'ed, MF Global'ed, Cyprus'ed, and Mt. Gox'ed.
It used to be, back in the Day, that Swiss Banks were famous for their privacy and immunity from unscrupulous acts by governments and the global banksters. Not anymore. All the Swiss banking laws have been updated to comply with The Global System which no longer recognizes a banking customer's privacy or even property rights.
Nowhere am I saying that there are zero risks. BitShares (and other cryptos) just provide a new form of safety that consumer's should consider for diversification against these risks. And since the "Safer than a Swiss Bank" is aiming to get the attention of non-crypto-savvy consumers, it is a perfectly reasonable attention getting headline. Naturally, when used, it is important to make sure that the other risks are clearly stated.
But we haven't used this slogan yet in any advertisement anywhere. We just discussed it on bitsharestalk.org as a possible way to reach the unwashed masses. A few of The Usual Suspects grabbed it from there and tried to make something of it out of context here. Nice try.
Just like the general public knows (or should know) that they should diversify against the risk of any single investment vehicle, crypto's provide diversification from many the common mode risks of the Global Financial System.
Surely you know all this.
