Re: Swiss parliamentary postulate: Bitcoin is a currency
I don't mind what politicians think about bitcoin, as they can't control it. Anyway I remember the following news from Switzerland:
Swiss banks ditch secrecy

So it's an interesting opportunity to whoever deposited money in Swiss bank accounts to migrate to bitcoin and be free from government control

Well.. I have a feeling that this measure was the stimulant behind the Bitcoin postulate.
If the Swiss banks ditch secrecy, their business will get (severely) affected. So probably in order to neutralize the possible repercussions in the Swiss financial sector, the parliamentarians are proposing to make Switzerland the world leader in Bitcoin marketing.
