PANews reported on January 2 that Bitcoin advocate Dennis Porter revealed that Swiss legislator Samuel Kullmann is pushing efforts to incorporate Bitcoin into the Swiss Constitution. This plan requires collecting 100,000 signatures within 18 months to compel the states (state parliaments) to vote on Bitcoin as part of the Constitution. Despite facing challenges, if enough signatures are successfully gathered, it will encourage all state legislators to gain a deeper understanding of Bitcoin.
Previously, the Swiss Federal Government had begun reviewing a proposal for a national referendum on Bitcoin.
