While any foreign account is of course better than any home country account, Sweden is not really a place that I would like to keep my money. High taxes, rigid controls, intrusive and unpredictable government, and, most importantly, the country has repeatedly teetered on the edge of bankruptcy. I would wait for some more solvent foreign country to get into digicash. More to the point -- few people will accept or spend digicash unless those unreasonable charges come right down. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.

What about Estonia :) The taxes are low, there are a very few government regulations, the currency is very stable (based on German mark) ... One interesting law in Estonia is that the state budget must be balanced, so there is no way for the government to spend more money than it really has. Technological level here is also quite good, and Internet is more popular than in any other Eastern Europe or ex-USSR country. I think Estonia is an ideal place for such projects: high-tech companies testing their new technological ideas, inventions and business assumptions in real-life conditions. Just get yourself here !

The Swedish crown had a bad reputation after repeated devalvations in the 70-80's. This trend has stopped, it seems, and trust has been built up in the last year (1 US$ has dropped from 9 to 6.50). Mats
