Why the growth in Switzerland? Odom attributes it to the country’s ‘legendary neutrality,’ as well as its respect for privacy and security — two big buzzwords for cryptographers — and the fact that it is already a tech hub. It also likely helps that Swiss regulators have so far taken a relatively accommodative, hands-off approach toward bitcoin.”
