“Jean Cristophe Schwaab of the Swiss Socialist Party said he is concerned about the potential of bitcoin.  ‘At the moment, I have no idea, but a Swiss journalist recently bought drugs from Silk Road using bitcoins, so I think the state needs to make an intervention,’ he added.  The 34-year-old said bitcoin came to his attention because he has a strong interest in internet policy, data protection and new online trends. He has also come across bitcoin in his work as a unionist for bankers – he is on the executive board of the Swiss Bank Employees’ Association.  He said the only people in Switzerland who know about bitcoin are ‘geeks, criminals and special police units’.”
