The bit-coin attraction is being stepping up in a much better way by the government of Switzerland. The Railway operator SBB has planned to launch a trial for 2 years for a service with the support of “SweePay” to let you exchange Swiss Francs against bit-coin at any of the ticket machine of company in the country. You can get digital currency at any time between 20-500 Francs or 20-505 U.S dollars by scanning a QR code from your mobile phone. Now, you can do it, if you need to go for a shopping without picking cards or actual cash. There are some issues involved in getting access to this option. It is important that you should have a Swiss phone number to get bit-coin because these bit-coins will be given to those having Swiss residence.

So, if you are planning a visit to Zurich and need to buy tickets with bit-coin at the machines, then it would be unfortunate for you if you don’t have a residence there. The only purpose of this experiment is to confirm whether or not a possibility for bit-coin market. It would be too hard to measure due to Switzerland has only a limited number of physical stores dealing in bit-coins.  Most of the experts believe that there are a large number of people need to swap out existing circulating currency. So, the advantage of SBB might be an exposure. There are a number of rail stations in Switzerland and the people will hear for the first time, if they haven’t yet heard about bit-coins.
