Bitcoin and Frankencoin: Swiss Franc Stable Coin

One could say, based on research, that Bitcoin and Frankencoin (fully decentralized CHF Stable Coin) are upcoming backbones of modern finance risk management. We talk about this, and why everyone should have $ZCHF in their portfolio of stables, with Johannes, the MD of Frankencoin Association. Why is it great? Well, it's decentralized, Swiss franc appreciates in value against USD in the past 50 years very steadily, it has unique liquidation features as well as governance structure and can function as transactional as well as store of value currency. Get boringly Swiss and check out the live demo Johannes did for me. Give it a listen and don't forget to collect!
