Given that Switzerland is a crucial player in banking, the biggest obstacle faced by 2B4CH is the lack of political will to rock the boat.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the chances of a Bitcoin referendum happening?<\/h2>\n<p>It's still early days for 2B4CH's campaign to bring in Bitcoin as part of Switzerland's Constitution. So early that the group said they had <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/2B4CH\/status\/1446694852306083843\">not defined<\/a> the content of their initiative.<\/p>\n<p>What's more, they openly admit that they are &#8220;not too optimistic&#8221; about getting their plans passed into law. Instead, they say, for now, the idea is to set out the feelers and bring about conversation and debate on the topic.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;<span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">We are not too optimistic about getting a law actually passed, but the goal is to get 100k signatures, to open a public conversation and open debate.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although they previously stated that they had not defined their initiative, they later said one possible idea is to include Bitcoin, alongside gold, as part of the Swiss National Bank's reserve assets.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8211; One possible fairly simple idea would be the one originally put forward by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/res_fluidfi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@res_fluidfi<\/a> to add BTC to Article 99 Clause 3 of the Federal Constitution. The SNB is mandated to hold gold as a monetary reserve asset and the initiative is simply to add the words &quot;and Bitcoin (BTC)&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; 2B4CH (@2B4CH) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/2B4CH\/status\/1446696633182339074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 9, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Is the Swiss government pro-crypto?<\/h2>\n<p>The Swiss government's attitude towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is generally positive.<\/p>\n<p>Both the government and financial watchdog (FINMA) acknowledge the benefits of blockchain technology in driving innovation.
