From next week railway travelers in Switzerland will be able to trade Swiss francs for Bitcoins using ticket machines. The Swiss railway services SBB says it has been testing customer demand for Bitcoin across the country and had decided to launch a two-year pilot project. “There have been few possibilities to obtain Bitcoins in Switzerland until now,” SBB said. “With its 1,000-plus ticket machines, SBB operates a dense, around-the-clock distribution network that’s suited for more than just ticket sales.” Bitcoin—the world’s first digital currency—has drawn interest as a way to move money around rapidly, without fees or bank involvement. Transfers are handled directly between users on the internet.
