USA

donttakeitfrommebut

I dont know the structures in the USA, or have experience with LLCs. But in my opinion, if its not under your name it's not yours. If Strategy stops for whatever reason, they will pay you back in money, not BTC. Or it's their choice at least. Maybe I see this wrong but in my opinion; If the LLCs stop, do you get your 3 rental properties? In that case i consider you the owner. if you get money, i dont consider you the owner.

Matias35v

you block it's use on regulated exchanges that work along USA government. you don't block the Bitcoin to be transacted outside of this. North Korea has been laundering stolen crypto for a while you can try to block every wallet that received money from them but they can start to do spam transactions to other governments, people and companies so it's a cat and mouse game

We're in the middle of a bear market, and USA has basically started WW3... Oil prices are going to be high for the rest of the year, along with rising unemployment. The global economy and supply chain is going to take a hit. The price of BTC is probably going down some more in the short-term. It just is what it is. Just DCA. Stop bragging when it rises 5k ... stop panicking when it drops 5k. Also remember, that's a fiat barometer. Who cares if the price has moved a little in USD terms? Why does checking its USD pair bring you so much pain/joy? Stack your sats and be about your day. This is a Bitcoin sub is it not? The mood changes like the tide around here, and it's a joke.

Let's wait and see what happens after the Orange Don's next term. Way things are going it's more likely there won't be another President of what we currently recognise as the USA

Iran ,,,we will let the ones we like through/for bitcoin ! - the USA, No we are going to prevent anyone from going through \[ even though we "really" would like it to be open for business\]. OPEN THE GODDAM STRAIGHT , YOU, YOU ASSHOLES , WE WILL KILL YOU,, Donald J Chump.

I mean, that's quite the foil hat conspiracy. Since I'm in the USA I'm going to use it for my examples. 1. It's a Constitutional right to be able to move freely within the USA, so to prevent people from doing so they'd need to overturn that part of the Constitution, which isn't impossible, but is definitely an uphill battle, leading to point 2: 2. Given the incredible difficulty with enforcing something like this, what would the benefit be? People already tend to self-select where they live based on what they can afford. It's not like you see poor people moving to Beverly Hills, so what is worth all the effort necessary to make that happen? 3. As far as them "making" it so you can't go where you need with your electric car scenario, who would buy such a car when a longer range model is available? Why would a car company not cater to a demand of users who want to be able to drive more than 15 minutes away? We already see "eco friendly cars" that are focusing on long-range, not short range. In fact, frequent charging stops would be less eco friendly. 4. Regarding CBDCs, there's already a ban on the Federal Reserve issuing them that has been largely bi-partisan, which really says something as almost nothing is bipartisan these days. **In short, all trends seem to be going in the opposite direction of what you're suggesting, the cost to implement what you suggest is incredibly high, and the potential gain for what you suggest seems minimal at best.**

Arbiter_89

I think that we are moving to a world where more and more people will rent instead of buy, and maybe we will eventually reach a point where homes are pretty much all corporate-owned, but I think that it's worth saying it's not quite as simple as you make it sound. There will be people who will move to places where land/homes are cheaper. We saw this multiple times in history; perhaps most notably when people moved west in the USA. With remote work being possible, it will be even easier to relocate somewhere cheaper. There will also be some firms competing to offer an "affordable" home. If there's a demand for it, then some companies will at least try to meet that demand so they can make a profit. These homes will probably be smaller than other homes in the area, or will be in less desireable areas, but will probably still offer some opportunity for home ownership, at least for a while. As you've pointed out, home prices are going up disproportionately to wages, but that doesn't necessairly mean that homes will be unaffordable as much as it means home ownership will require some sacrifices that it didn't in the past.

Odd take. They made a deal. Open strait was part of deal. Iran broke deal. USA now opens the strait.

Congratulations. About 20-45 countries match or have similar levels of freedom of speech as the USA (Freedom house/reporters without borders/ V-dem institute). Most of them from Europe.

Putin is the richest man in the world and Trump wants to out do him by looting the USA like Putin and his cronies looted the ussr

Romanizer

Yeah, only Trump was elected and the US was leading the world. I think we interpret too much into the doings of an senile, demented and mentally handicapped old mobster. The only interest he has is his own bank account, not whatever happens with the USA.

No-Problem49

You are misunderstanding. The goal of the trump fascist USA is to destroy the GCC, destroy credibility create problems for China if possible and then retreat back to a now failing USA to feast on the scraps of North America. For the USA in this fight losing is winning and winning is winning for Trump. In their mind they can’t lose and they are probably correct. The harder they lose, the more USA goes into chaos , and the more things the billionaires around Trump can buy on fire sale as they sell the government and commons for parts and draft us all to incar greenland

Full-Sound-6269

Depends. Global control is slipping from USA hands and other countries can simply ignore whatever USA thinks about it. There are many exchanges that are based outside US.

Thank you, Iran, for teaching us every day how to deal with the terrorist states of the USA and Israel.

No-Problem49

People say bitcoin is financial freedom from a single polar world ; freedom from financial control of the USA but it’s actually quite the opposite. Who benefits most from being able to see every transaction ? It’s the game masters, the technofascists in the USA.

I dont even know what we can trust afters all these USA things on market :D but keep buying. Last 6 years 0 sell. Even it was hard to catch second bigger crash.

I didn't say political parties, I said parties. Not everything is about the USA. As I said, you need to open your world view.

FnAardvark

Nice model. Now let's go back to the real world where Iran has currently accepted zero BTC in tolls. Your timing is extra great, because now the USA has blocked the strait and says they won't allow any ships to pass that have paid an illegal toll.

21st Century Humanity, a tragi-comedy in 3 acts: England: *bizarrely castrates itself before an aghast world, whilst proclaiming its own supremacy* ("Brexit") USA: "HOLD MY BEER!" ... *Trump 1st term... Trump 2nd term (!?)* World: *slow, bewildered applause*

Usually the USA starts a war with whoever tries to not use USD. 

william_the_french

Here’s another fear unlocked. If satoshis bitcoin represent 5% ish of the liquidity, and Saylor keeps buying like he is, and the Iranians continue to charge a bitcoin toll at the Straight of Hormuz…how easy would it be for trump to nationalize Strategy by invoking the fear that Iran now controls as much bitcoin as the USA…Americans wouldn’t even blink

RadiantWarden

USA has plenty of Oil, only reason people see higher prices is because of companies taking advantage of the fighting in the Middle East and price gauging

PMmeuroneweirdtrick

It's a global commodity it will impact everywhere. That's why USA is paying more despite have non from that area.

strayaares

USA is full of puppet pussy politicians. Nothing is going to be ever done to trump or his families

No-Masterpiece2246

What are you on about? Crypto was designed for uncensorable transactions. People in Asia need their fucking oil and they don't appreciate the USA/Israel meddling about. They don't want to smell Netanyahu/Trump's gloves so they use crypto. Any questions?

Sars-CoV-2-delta

I mean in order to use this obvious scam as a scam, there must be buyers and holders, right? God bless them if consumer protection and oligarch accountability ever return in the USA. But until then, why should I pity any of the morons who "invested" in this shit?

No-Masterpiece2246

Not quite. It's in the USA and is being pumped by a sitting president. Not saying I'd buy it.

No-Masterpiece2246

Good thing Tether isn't headquartered in USA, they're in El Salvador. So good luck getting your US dollars when the poop hits the fan. Furthermore, Tether's assets are held by Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick. Those assets are mostly worthless US Treasury Bills. What could go wrong?

briefcase_vs_shotgun

Oil trades aren’t happening in btc lmfao buddy you’re cooked if you can’t see how hard you’re trying to twist all this. Illegal toll fees are being request in btc. No signs they’ve been paid as it would go against sanctions to begin with. This is a world different from buying and selling oil in btc. Whether the USA is failing enough to negate the case for petrousd is another story Most importantly tho, you left out the most important part of a petro currency that i highlighted earlier. The yuan is openly and heavily manipulated. At “best” there won’t be a petro reserve and countries will trade in whatever they please and lose some to exchange fees. “They’re trading oil in btc” has to be the dumbest take I’ve read all week. Keep pumping them bags full of hopium btc has a minuscule chance of becoming anything other than gambling with extra power usage Few understand tho…

MiserablePhilosophy

Guess the rest of NATO should follow once USA pulls out. Cant store gold for safekeeping at a potential enemy who threatens allies and sovereign nations

sirthunksalot

Usa companies can't do business with Iran because of sanctions. So unless Trump removes them no USA ships will pass.

Ninjavitis_

“ Iran is not the USA's domain to do whatever they want. They have zero right to threaten anything there, since it's not their land. The fact that they do it anyway, only goes to reveal their terrorist nature; it is after all, their modus operandi.” Isn’t that the same argument for starting an illegal war?

FromThePits

I can imagine Exxon paying Iran a toll of 25 BTC to pass a ship through the straight of Hommuz Also paying a Korean shipyard for their next bulk carrier with bitcoin. I can imagine Iran buying anti-air weapons from Russia with BTC, and Russia buying drones from China, and China buying debt from USA. But with an average of 1000 sats transaction fee I don't see BTC becoming a daily standard for salaries or coffee purchasing any day soon (ever?) . Second layer solutions will also have to settle from time to time . Too expensive for small-timers. ETF's might break also. It's tradition with third party solutions, although there's some big money behind this time. Time will tell.

OrcOgi

Laughable. This proves crypto is dead. Only some failed companies are buying it as a hail mary. Retail doesnt want it anymore and neither does the industry. It was a clear top indicator when president of USA started peddling it combined with etfs for shit altcoins. Smart money sold at 100k+ Dumb money is hodling forever. The grift has peaked.

benjaminchodroff

Iran would be quite foolish to accept a stablecoin like tether or Circle. The USA already sanctioned Venezuela's use of tether for use in oil. 

LuckyWinds

> Bro its an etf to collect fees, not some 4d chess crypto fantasy This is a pretty uninformed take. A lot of people clearly are new here. Bitcoin is becoming mainstream in the financial world. This would have been unheard of just a few years ago. And now the fastest growing ETFs of all time are Bitcoin. The largest asset manger's most profitable ETF? Bitcoin That single bitcoin ETF was ranked #3 in terms of inflows across ALL ETFs in the USA. Only being beaten by VOO and IVV. And people act like this isn't a big deal....

saggy777

You are so naive. Why do you think Trump brought Venezuela president to USA?

SHA256-Ghost

There is no option if you pay for service with coins from your wallet to another wallet. The opportunity for such activity comes when you want to convert coins to traditional money, like dollars or euros. Unfortunately, it seems like the legislation recently introduced in the EU and in the USA is a step towards such opportunities. Every bitcoin is trackable in terms of when it was mined and how it was used. And if it was in a wallet connected to criminal activities, you will never legalize them. That kind of trackability might lead to the opportunity to tax each coin when you convert it to money on the legal market.

What does Cuba have to do with anything? The USA isn't bombing Cuba as far as I'm aware.

ProfessorSmoker

That was 70 years ago. You believe Iran can just permanently attack the USA and rhe USA just has to do nothing in response? That is an insane take. Iran has been continuously attacking the USA and its allies for decades. Regardless of who started it 70 years ago if someone is punching me, I am punching back.

I only buy Bitcoin. The reason I trade US Dollars for Bitcoin is because I believe the dollar will continue to lose value over time. A major reason for this is because there is unlimited supply of dollars. Google or use AI: Ask what a McDonald’s cheeseburger cost when you were born, when your parents were born and the cost of one today. This is a simple exercise to show that one basic cheeseburger at McDonald’s is requiring more dollars…because in large part that the dollar has become weaker, ie., requiring more of them to buy the same product. Here is a visual of the dollar becoming worth less and Bitcoin worth more over time: https://ibb.co/sV1sLSV https://ibb.co/qWtxfmF Here are some videos that I think are helpful: I’d watch this first: https://youtu.be/fCkABdwjxtE?si=YZ4UWHrXSgKTyEGm Then watch some of these if interested https://youtu.be/mWt-Lfa6ejw?si=mBQxvD6bis2mkUk3 https://youtu.be/HzxKs-Jd0H4?si=HNtxPSdJF-CYWJfj https://youtu.be/iwPZRcGJR4Y?si=xLpfjXgf3rNidb2k https://youtu.be/tc-AqIyQT5U?si=McdzuYrElRT-jHHu If you live in the USA (excluding Nevada and New York) I recommend checking out River.

One does not buy bitcoin with Yuan "quickly". Your beat bet is to rather buy some commodity that isn't on CCP's radar, like drone engines, and then ship them from China at US and covert those motors in USA into USD.

If you're looking for crypto infrastructure that has genuinely shipped something tangible this year, World Mobile (WMTx) stands out as one of the strongest examples in the DePIN space. They're not just promising, they're delivering real-world mobile connectivity powered by blockchain and a community-driven sharing economy. As of early 2026, they've hit massive milestones: over 100,000 AirNodes deployed globally and more than 3 million daily active users who actually rely on the network every single day for their mobile data and connectivity. That's real infrastructure you can point to, people connecting, data flowing (hundreds of terabytes daily), and the network growing fast through community participation rather than big corporate capex. What makes it even more exciting is the leadership. CEO Micky Watkins is a true telecom visionary who's been pushing this decentralised model for years. He has personally spoken in front of the UN pledging to connect 1 billion people globally by 2030. He's the one driving the bold moves, including World Mobile Stratospheric, their game-changing project using hydrogen-powered aircraft flying at around 20,000 meters (the stratosphere) to deliver wide-area 5G coverage, potentially connecting hundreds of thousands of devices per aircraft. They've been advancing this aggressively in 2026, including joining the HAPS Alliance and building partnerships like with Protelindo and preparations for trials with BT (British Telecom, UK's largest telecom provider). It's taking connectivity to literal new heights and could revolutionise coverage in remote or underserved areas. [https://worldmobile.io/blog/post/another-leap-skyward-world-mobile-stratospheric-joins-the-haps-alliance](https://worldmobile.io/blog/post/another-leap-skyward-world-mobile-stratospheric-joins-the-haps-alliance) They're making strong moves on the ground too. In the Philippines, they've expanded with partnerships like DITO Telecom and Community Wireless Corporation, deploying AirNodes to bring coverage to more communities and even using Starlink for backhaul in harder-to-reach spots. This is helping connect the disconnected in a country where many areas still lack reliable mobile service. They have also announced a partnership with CWC in the philipines to fast track scaling with access to 8 million subscribers! [https://worldmobile.io/blog/post/world-mobile-announces-a-partnership-with-cwc](https://worldmobile.io/blog/post/world-mobile-announces-a-partnership-with-cwc) America is coming soon as well, with plans for multiple celebrity MVNOs. An MVNO basically means a mobile virtual network operator, where World Mobile provides the underlying decentralised infrastructure and celebrities or brands launch their own branded phone plans on top of it, complete with fan-focused perks and services. That could bring mainstream attention and fast adoption in the US market. They're also pushing into South Korea with a partnership involving SK Telecom, the country's largest telecom operator. Details are still emerging on exactly what it covers, but it's a big signal of serious traditional telecom interest. And their work with Starlink truly shines when it comes to connecting the disconnected. When Hurricane Helene devastated parts of North Carolina and left entire communities cut off, major carriers like T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T couldn’t restore service. Within just one day, World Mobile flew in with AirNodes, thanks to Charles Hoskinson lending them his Blackhawk helicopter, and got people back online. They released a powerful 30-minute documentary called "Connecting the Disconnected" that captures the raw, real-world impact: you see the suffering, the desperation of real families who lost everything, and the hope that returned once they could finally call emergency services and reach loved ones again. It’s one of the best examples of DePIN actually making a difference when traditional infrastructure fails.. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGyK2pWkt8c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGyK2pWkt8c) On the token side, WMTx is the utility token that powers the entire ecosystem. It serves as gas on the World Mobile Chain, handles payments for telecom services, staking for node operators (EarthNodes require significant WMTx stakes), rewards for AirNode operators providing coverage, and governance. Tokenomics are designed for long-term alignment: max supply of 2 billion WMTx, with a big chunk allocated to network rewards and incentives distributed gradually over many years. This creates real utility demand as the network scales, more users and nodes mean more transaction activity and staking. We have been told there will be locked staking of WMTx too, with 5.5% APY for 3 months, 6% for 6 months, 8% for 9 months and 10% for 12 months. WMTx is already listed on major exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, making it accessible, and it's seeing growing on-chain activity tied to actual telecom usage. They also just launched and expanded the Network Builder platform in early 2026 (with live auctions and Hex claims in the US and beyond), plus they're moving into the EarthNode Agentic Ecosystem, blending sovereign AI, private networking, and RWA-backed infra.

World Mobile feels like one of the few in this space actually bridging crypto with physical, useful infrastructure that solves real problems (connectivity for the unconnected). Definitely worth watching if you're into DePIN that ships. Don't sleep on World Mobile or WMTx...... market cap currently sitting at roughly $61 million, considering this is a revenue based project, once the expansion rolls out across higher ARPU nations like USA, South Korea, Philipines, this is explode. World Mobile will be a household name.

Definitely worth watching if you're into DePIN that ships. Don't sleep on World Mobile or WMTx...... market cap currently sitting at roughly $61 million, considering this is a revenue based project, once the expansion rolls out across higher ARPU nations like USA, South Korea, Philipines, this is explode. World Mobile will be a household name.

Mannn same here, I wasn’t even trying to mine or anything. I just wanted to buy up some bitcoin but I didn’t have a physical address in the USA to register to (I was living in Mexico at the time) and I didn’t research enough to just get my own wallet and start buying BTC. By the time I moved back Coinbase was big and bitcoin was already mainstream. Oh well, we can only hope we’re still in the early days in the grand scheme🥲

And this is exactly why old allies like Europe are turning away from the USA. It's not only Trump, it's the whole maga cult which is so disgusting.

Arbiter_89

Before you do anything, consider the tax implications. If you're in the USA you could be paying a fair amount just to sell it, then rebuy it in another form.

rsincognito

Unchained . If you’re in the USA, this is the only company I would use, but you have to be comfortable with cold storage.

Tuftekvess

Donald duck will pump BTC insanely at some point. Not sure if its a good thing but mark my words. Its hes way of saving USA economically when all waste is over.

perth_girl-V

Yea it will once the USA no longer has any influence in the global sphere the world will be better

If you are in the USA I recommend River or Strike. I also recommend getting a Foundation Passport, Trezor, Jade or a Coldcard.

But the USA has never been a democracy?

Want to start arbitrage CEX-DEX or CEX-CEX but unfortunally there are no good exchanges in the US that can provide that opportunities.

Because oil prices are global. It doesn't matter that "Iran doesnt supply USA or Europe" when gasoline prices go up 100% or more due to rising oil prices.

Jumpy_Argument5869

when Donald Trump want´s to win his Midterms and realy understand the potential power of bitcoin. . . we call it: Hyperbitcoinisation :) but bevor that happens the USA nee to confiscate Michael Sailors btc

Xiximaro

Why the Doomsday analyses. Iran doesn't even supply USA or Europe... Iran doesn't have any decision power. Broader markets are preocuppied with USA and China because the war with Iran is in fact a War of attrition with China. USA is technology/military focused, next generation will about AI but dumbasses forgot that chip material aren't infinite and the majority of the mines that have the materials are on China. Só they are now dully dependent on China. Só the solution that USA came up to not get exploited in Chips materials, is the one they are "best" in making, since they turned into a military nation. Let's choke China main Oil supplier Iran with War under the banner of freeing it's people from oppression. Either USA and China negotiate or whoever cries first loses.

USA is a Republic, not a Democracy. ....and to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation..... You don't have freedom if you are forced to vote. OP, he is termed out so no one will be voting for him again as President.

Confident_Air_5331

Lmfao the economic data demonstrates exactly that republicans are better for the economy. Pretending that isn't the case is just unbelievably stupid and makes you seem extremely untrustworthly. Republican economies are objectively the best economies because they don't care about things like quality of life or public health. Just look at USA's covid comeback, no other country was even close to being as good as USA on the covid comeback. You know why? Because a republican put the economy before public health. Does this make it right? No. Does this mean republicans have the strongest/best economies, even though it is at the direct cost of public safety and wellbeing? Yes.

Bitcoin is done for. No adoption, no miners, no etf interest. People who thought the top wasnt in when the fcking president of USA was peddling it were naive.

uncapchad

Borderless. Decentralised. I get their point about the "made in China" hardware, it's bleated about often on X. But the concentration of hash rate can change - we have seen this throughout Bitcoin's life. I'm not sure where this is all going to end tbh. Is there some plan/view for coins not claimed in the USA? I just feel overall that this concerted effort to treat Bitcoin as any other manufacturing process is going to break down. We see already these mining companies diversifying etc. I'm struggling for the term here but it's not just another commodity. Bitcoin belongs to the world, where a miner can be anywhere, using any type of equipment. Coins discovered can either enter circulation or be held by the miner. Or are they plotting to change this too?

CapableOne4026

Could you elaborate further? As someone out of the USA with no great knowledge of your history, for me it seemed like the economy bounced back and forth constantly, regardless of the political party. Both wings making stupid mistakes, and then adjustments. But again, this is quite literally a feeling from the outside with no facts to support this statement.

pcvcolin

USA still in stone age. Hasn't even passed Clarity. Congress is debating whether to emerge from caves

>Same reason why USA still uses the imperial system, despite it being objectively inferior to the metric system. Metrics bring order. Imperials bring personality and make every DIY project an epic quest.

Well-I-suppose

A friend tried to convince me several years ago that bitcoin was the future. I told him that just because something is useful, doesn't mean people will adopt it. I pointed to Esperanto as an example. I told him that that language was supposed to be adopted worldwide and it makes more logical sense than English, Mandarin, Spanish, or any other language - but it simply never caught on, because people are stuck in their ways and don't like change. Same reason why USA still uses the imperial system, despite it being objectively inferior to the metric system. They don't want change. For years, I never bought it - not because I failed to see the value in cryptocurrency or the blockchain, but simply because I didn't believe that it would catch on. But eventually, I convinced myself that this is actually catching on, and that's when I bought in for FOMO reasons.

TheresNoSecondBest

>do you ever actually use it when you can Saving in Bitcoin is "using it" too. Anyway, here's how spending bitcoin IRL looks like: https://youtu.be/Tlhvnpi2ukA I'm "using Bitcoin" almost on a daily basis. Buying groceries, paying for meals, taxis, domains/hosting, VPN... Spend and replace is usually the name of the game so no, I'm not spending bitcoin while saving in cash. If you're thinking about spending some, here are my favorite directories: http://lightningnetworkstores.com/ https://btcmap.org - awesome map, you can even add your local vendors in, once you orangepill them. https://acceptlightning.com/list.html https://spend-sats.com/ https://spendabit.co/ https://directory.btcpayserver.org/ There's also an option of buying gift cards https://thebitcoincompany.com/ https://bitrefill.com https://www.egifter.com/buy-gift-cards-with-bitcoin - this one's least fave because they use a shitty custodian for payments but are handy for a few cards. Spend and earn some sats back: https://foldapp.com - save up to 20% Starbucks, Uber, Target , whole foods , Dunkin https://www.lolli.com – save up to 30% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily USA stores https://satsback.com/stores-list - save up to 20% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily Europe stores.

perth_girl-V

Lol you know all those programs they cancelled thats what gave the usa influence on the world stage. You knkw the alliances trumlh has blown up well thats pretty much dead to l. You now have USA first

perth_girl-V

If you think like that you want china running the world instead of the USA cause they will

franktrollip

He's against long running, pointless, expensive wars with little benefit. Before the next election we will have successively completed regime change in Iran. This is no different to his first term. He quickly wiped out ISIS (funny you don't seem to remember how bad they were). Then withdrew. Thank God he did so. Oil will be fine. The USA doesn't even buy oil on the markets you're quoting. They're self sufficient. The debt is an historic accumulation. I think he is more likely to slash it at some point, hopefully by draining the swamp. When he starts doing just that, you'll of course scream hysterically.

TheRadishBros

USA is gearing up for full scale invasion of Iran.

catchgretch

Maga-Republicans chuds love wars, pedophiles and bankrupting the USA. The same old story for decades. Then the Democrats always has to clean up the mess!!

TheDerpaSherpa

Those same Dems also are doing everything in their power to stop voter ID from be mandatory for voting. This goes completely against that logic. Also USA the only "democratic" country in the world that doesn't require voter ID...explain how that isn't corrupt af...

Spikel14

Yea so do we we get two hours paid time to vote in USA

oopssomething

USA preparing a full invasion, sounds like we will be seeing 40k soon afterall

Phantasizer

> It would definitely be very useful to understand how the economy can survive so well with such a stronger currency You’re spot on with your assessment, I think. Not only is it a small country, but it is surrounded by rich countries that are a lot larger (Germany, France, Italy). As an example let’s look at tourism: not that many people can afford to spend a couple of weeks skiing in the Swiss mountains, and France and Austria are a lot cheaper. But that’s no problem, because even if only a small percentage of Europeans can afford it, that’s enough for a country that’s like 10 times (or more) smaller. And the same goes for export items: our production is relatively small volume and mostly high end, so we don’t need to be very competitive in price, as long as the quality is good.  And there are historical reasons: Switzerland was the only country that was mostly intact after WWII, so we could export a lot of stuff to rebuild the rest of Europe, and this gave us a head start that we felt well into the 80s and 1990s still. And when it comes to the industrial sector, it is mostly high value stuff that is impossible to find elsewhere. I think a typical example is the ink that is used worldwide to print money (bank notes): it is produced by a relatively small company, but they have the expertise to produce something that is very hard to find elsewhere, I’m sure they have a high margin. There are many examples like this, but few examples like the Swatch brand, which produces cheap watches for a low price. I think they are still doing well, even though most people don’t really need to wear a watch nowadays. But it is probably an outlier in the grand scheme.  Also, our banking system was helped immensely by a legislation that allowed a lot of capital of doubtful (to put it mildly) provenance to be safely stored. But this is more or less over, and the banking sector has been downsizing ever since we were forced to collaborate with authorities from the USA and Europe. A lof of capital has been transferred elsewhere since then, and I don’t know how important this sector will be in another few decades. Right now it has been less than 30 years that the laws were changed, so there’s still a lot of “legacy customers”, and I think the private banks are still doing well. But we don’t have this advantage anymore, so maybe it’s only downhill from now on.

We have the same machines in USA usually near touristy areas

benjaminchodroff

The USA has laws that declared Bitcoin as a commodity (similar to gold and oil), not a stock. Spend and replace freely 

Automatic-Unit-8307

Because selling bitcoins is a taxable event. You have to sell bitcoins to buy burgers, so it’s a taxable event event. Bitcoin is to be stored and never used. It’s to build wealth, not to create a nightmare filing tax returns in USA and having IRS bankrupt you. Keep buying bitcoin and never use it
