## Description

"The Swiss franc dodged every shady financial trend for 150 years." -  Johannes Kern, Managing Director, Frankencoin

Frankie Coin is built on the Swiss franc, a currency shaped by 150 years of neutrality, decentralization, and economic discipline. This talk explains why the dollar has quietly lost 70% against the franc and why slow governance, not fast tech, creates lasting value. From dodging Bretton Woods to maintaining gold reserves, the Swiss model offers a blueprint for stability in volatile markets.
