The proposal, listed as item 090-2024, passed with a vote of 85 to 46 for its primary demand, despite initial government resistance.
Key Points of the Proposal: The motion directs the Bern government to prepare a report addressing:
  1. Instances where energy in the region's electricity sector goes unused.
  2. The feasibility of repurposing this energy through Bitcoin mining, potentially with Swiss Bitcoin mining enterprises.
  3. The role of Bitcoin mining in enhancing grid stability.

It is a good thing, but it's more beautiful when it's coming voluntarly from the people with real will to learn and use it. Goverments can't decide what's good for people using their money that was robbed with coercion.

According to my calculations the block reward is going to drop about 75% over the next 8 years, so if you are building an energy grid dependent on bitcoins block reward you are going to have a bad time i think. It may even end badly for people who use bitcoin as a store of value.
