here is my dilemma: i have a forced pension that is set in CHF. I MUST contribute each month by law. I can't take it and hodl BTC. Now the CHF is as hard af BUT it still evaporates as all fiat and the cumulative effect is disastrous. SO.... WOULD I opt for some Bitcoin ETF instead of putting my pension directly into fiat? I think the answer is : YES So maybe the idea isn't so stupid for me. BUT I ofc get the whole shitty paper Bitcoin, custodial nature of it. Just being pragmatic... The kicker to the story is... I was asked if I would like to switch from a CHF cash (locked) account to "invest in funds" mode - did this: the fund did a -17% in the very first year. You can't make this shit up!!

The fascinating aspect of Switzerland is that banks still offer the option to tie up your money, essentially until your death, in a third-tier pension instrument. This instrument offers 1% interest while healthcare and energy costs are skyrocketing. It's supported by a fictional CPI that props up these bank instruments for the benefit of the system and people still drink this kool aid.
