Everyone is talking about how bad the ideas in this Piketty proposal are, and it's true: They're very bad. But what's also notable is how *out of date* they feel. A one-world government to fight climate change? Seriously? Even Greta Thunberg has moved on to Palestine activism.

This sign at Zurich airport is the modern equivalent of Gessler's hat. While Gessler's hat mandated respect, the "financed by the European Union" sign mandates gratitude. The EU puts up these signs because it wants to be loved. But once you know that Zurich taxpayers actually pay more into the relevant EU fund than they get back, the effect reverses. Every time I pass by this deceptive display of fake gratitude, my contempt for the European Union increases. @autonomiesuisse @ZRH @EU_Commission

When money depends less on a single issuer, users gain more ways to hold and move value on their own terms. @frankencoinzchf lets users mint and use ZCHF through open, oracle-free smart contracts. Frankencoin is built on Ethereum.

Yesterday, a German activist has disrupted the Kompass Kongress, a political event to inform about the problems with the proposed new treaty between Switzerland and the European Union. Co-host Freddy Gantner gave the anonymous activist a minute to make his point, which mostly consisted of personal attacks. The far left consistently fails to understand that entrepreneurs like Gantner typically do more good and are more idealistic than the left's functionaries.

A glimpse of reason in Swiss politics: both responsible commissions want to subject the participation treaty with the EU to a "big" vote that requires a double-majority of both the people and the cantons.

Eine sehr vernünftige Stimme. Bitter nötig für die Schweiz. Sehenswert: weltwoche.ch/daily/eu-auf-de…

The Swiss government wants a deeper integration with the European Union. But instead of embedding ourselves in mediocrity, Switzerland should aspire to stand out and to set an example for how Europe can do better.

Great impressions from the A3F Conference 2026 by @alan_frei 🚀 Last week @Luzius contributed to the inspiring conversations around tokenized ownership and the future of Web3. Thank you to everyone who joined the presentation about Aktionariat and @frankencoinzchf Always exciting to connect with builders, founders, and innovators shaping the next generation of finance.

Ich habe fünf Jahre im Binnenmarktausschuss gesessen. Fast nichts von dem, was dort in dieser Zeit gemacht wurde, war nützlich für freie Märkte. Sehr vieles war Regulierung, die große Unternehmen strukturell gegenüber kleinen Unternehmen bevorteilt hat, also Märkte in Richtung von Oligopolen entwickelt hat. Der Rest war Protektionismus in Richtung Asien.

When we started @BitcoinSuisseAG , our goal was merely to build Switzerland's leading crypto platform. Today, Bitcoin Suisse (International) Ltd. received dual pre-operational approval from the @BermudaMonetary Authority covering regulated advisory and portfolio management for professional and institutional clients from Bermuda. Together with our in-principal approval in Abu Dhabi, we're transitioning towards becoming a global wealth management platform, and potentially one that extends beyond crypto as an asset class. What began with Swiss precision, pioneering spirit, and deep crypto native expertise is now rapidly evolving into a truly international platform built on the same principles that shaped us from day one. Throughout this journey, our clients remain at the center of everything we do, as we continue to focus on delivering long-term value, trusted access, and best-in-class service. Really proud and thankful to the entire team and cannot wait for what lies ahead. btcs.ag/PR120526

Last week, @Luzius gave a keynote at the A3F 2026 conference at Kaufleuten, Zürich. He shared about the innovation and new opportunities @aktionariat and Frankencoin bring to companies, businesses, and individuals, with over 500 founders, investors and builders who attended an exceptional conference, hosted by @alan_frei and his team. Thank you for bringing quality innovation talks to Zürich!

If I were a saboteur trying to destroy the Euro from within while remaining undetected, I would not be doing anything differently than what the ECB is already doing.

"Souveraineté. Conformité. Hésitation."

Europe is not losing to the US because it lacks engineers, capital or universities. It is losing because every layer of its system rewards the gatekeeper and punishes the builder. In medicine I see it weekly. A primary care AI that triages, documents and flags risk gets deployed in months in the US and runs into a years long compliance maze in Europe. By the time the European version is approved, the American one has been retrained twice and is cheaper. In energy it is worse. Spain ran 60 percent of April on clean power, then keeps shutting down nuclear plants that work. France stays stable on its grid. Germany burns lignite to compensate for a political decision made in 2011. Industry quietly leaves. In capital markets, an EU founder still raises across 27 fragmented systems while a Texan founder raises once and sells across a continent. None of this is about culture. It is about rules. The continent that gave the world Pasteur, Fleming and Marie Curie is now the one that consults itself to death while others ship. If Europe wants to matter in 2030, it needs less harmonization theater and more permissionless building. Otherwise the talent will keep voting with its feet, and the speeches in Brussels will keep arriving on time.

#EU spricht offen aus: #Exit_Steuern stehen im Fokus, ein klares Signal, dass #Kapitalabwanderung ein reales Problem ist. 1/2 EU-Studie plant: • Vermögenssteuer • Steuer auf nicht realisierte Gewinne • Kapitalertragssteuer • Erbschafts- und Schenkungssteuer • Wegzugssteuer

We are already several steps ahead with @nym To ban us they will have to ban Bitcoin and decentralized networks.

At A3F 2026, @Luzius will share our perspective on how tokenized equity is reshaping how companies are built and owned. Thanks to Alan Frei for bringing this conversation to the stage. 📅 May 6, 2026 📍 Kaufleuten More info about the event: alanfrei.com/a3f2026 #A3F2026
