The Canton of Ticino will accept payments in bitcoin

[H2O]

Yesterday, the Grand Council of the Canton of Ticino in Switzerland approved a pilot project that will allow citizens to pay the state in bitcoin.

In reality, the cantonal parliament was divided in two over this decision, with 36 against, 3 abstaining and 48 in favour, indicating that even in Switzerland there are minority forces that are not in favour of the spread of cryptocurrencies.

The cantonal government also expressed itself favourably on the matter, deeming the project to be “well outlined and balanced”.source
