PANews reported on January 2 that according to Bitcoin advocate Dennis Porter, Swiss legislator Samuel Kullmann is pushing for the inclusion of Bitcoin in the Swiss Constitution. The plan requires the collection of 100,000 signatures within 18 months to force states (cantonal parliaments) to vote on Bitcoin as part of the constitution. Although this proposal faces challenges, if enough signatures are successfully collected, it will prompt all cantonal parliamentarians to gain a deeper understanding of Bitcoin.
Previously, the Swiss federal government had begun reviewing Bitcoin-related referendum proposals .
