That's one of the most important stories under the radar: the possible swiss referendum to defend the right of having cash!

The Swiss are clearly in the lead towards a society that can define itself on individual sovereignty! The Eurozone will have to learn its lesson via the CBDC that will be a big fail, loss of time, freedom and resources.

No. Individual sovereignty it doesn't mean to depend of a state or state's money. Swiss cash it doesn't stop being state's money.

All this swiss referendum is a bullshit crap propaganda. It means nothing for people. If they really want to be sovereign they must separate money from state: aka Bitcoin.

defend the right of having cash!

This is an idiocy, not a right.

Having money is not a right. Money is just a trade instrument, to exchange value for goods and services.

Cultural evolution is like watching a tree grow. Although it grows faster now as of better soil (knowledge) there still will be this slow and grinding process of disruption, fighting for better solutions, resistance and finally adoption of the best solution for solving a problem (optimizing energy distribution).

Bitcoin without a question is a crucial part of the transition (aka: evolution) of humanity into its next chapter of better usage of energy. But: it will take a lot more time than You think and to progress we need to calibrate powers in society. Cash money is a chifre for pushing back against gov actions that try to close windows to the future. Therefore this referendum is great!

No the referendum is bullshit. Why they didn't make a referendum to eliminate the government at all?

Making a referendum to show to a government what you want is totally useless. Is like a crying baby, protesting to his parents that is grounded. He can cry whatever he wants but will still be grounded.

I wonder when adults will grow up and not be anymore children ?

But You know how constitutions work, don't You? Change is a slow shift. Interruption is an idea of dreamers. Look how long the SU survived even it was bancrupt culturally, economically and ethically since its first days. This referendum is a first sign of resistance and it will strengthen the shift towards bitcoin. Study some history. Especially the fall of the Roman Empire teaches You a great lesson about change and timelines.

Ah come on! You know well that constitutions are defining the major part of our action schemes. You can't force people to adopt Your own convictions, may they be right like they are. Give it time if You do not want the masses to oppose the transformation to btc

I don't want to convince anybody of anything. I just want to be left alone, to live my life, as a sovereign individual, in peace.

For more you enter into a so called "society", more you will get fucked. Do you need to enter in commercial relations with somebody else? Good, make a contract, not a constitution.

Constitutions are bullshit.

Yeees You are totally right. I feel exactly the same. But what I learned from my life and from history is: 99% of the people are simply not willing to transit to such a life. It needs time to establish a new ethical mindset and economic processes. First we need to get a critical mass of libertarians. That need years and years. Anybody of us is educating one at a time

I think what You do not calculate is the shift of power. I was referring to the importance of opposing to a political class that needs to understand its limits. That I personally do not have interest in holding Fiat Cash is my personal decision. The cultural shift to personal sovereignty is exactly what it means to be a Bitcoiner.

IMO Its not that deep here in Switzerland + most of the Swiss people are not supporting CBDC's anyway, alot are for privacy and still want to keep cash.

Dont think this will be a threat, Social Media spreading fear as usual. (fyi, yes I am swiss)

Thanks for Your impression. But the problem with politicians nowadays is that they clearly spit on our opinion. This referendum is about recalibrating power. Therefore it's good and a sign that people have the power to defend themselves. Bitcoiners should back this movement because it strengthens our rights and it will lead the way to bitcoin. That's so clear now...

Ofc will do. I get that about the politicians but the people here really are more in power. If the whole EU would start with it then the swiss would be in pressure.

Don't worry. The EU commies will be fighting until the last day. Swiss will be the big winner on the continent. Think of Lugano and the btc project too
