Buy Holo
in Switzerland

Holo is a decentralized platform. Its main purpose is to create a space where everyone can host applications. The Holo platform allows people to install several different applications on their computers without the need for special hardware or software. The Holo blockchain plans to develop a platform that is a bridge between Holo users and the Internet. In addition, Holo cryptocurrency offers blockchain developers efficient and cheaper methods to build fully distributed web applications. HOT is the native token of the Holochain. It’s built on the Ethereum network and acts as a utility token for the Holo network. Users who offer computational power to the network are rewarded in HOT tokens. This cryptocurrency provides confirmation of transactions by reducing operational costs and speeding up the process.

Currently, all blockchain networks consume energy to some extent, but Holochain claims to be able to create methods that are environmentally friendly and do not consume a lot of energy. Since the nodes in this network do not confirm all the data, they have less bandwidth and as a result less energy consumption. Also, the electricity consumed in this network is optimized through environmentally friendly approaches.

The symbol of a digital currency is the symbol by which the cryptocurrency is traded in the digital currency market. Holo with the symbol HOT is a digital currency created on the basis of the Holo Chain blockchain.

Switzerland is one of the most well-known banking and financial centers in the world. The country is progressive on the development of cryptocurrencies. In January 2018, Swiss Economy Minister Johann Schneider Ammann stated that he sought to make Switzerland a “crypto nation”. According to the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the Switzerland Federal Tax Administration (SFTA), cryptocurrencies and virtual currencies are legal and classified as assets or property.  

Yes. According to the established tax legislation defined by The Swiss Federal Tax Service (SFTA), cryptocurrencies are assets. This means that they are subject to Swiss wealth, income and capital gains taxes and must be declared in annual tax returns. The mentioned tax legislation treats crypto assets similar to stocks, bonds and real estate in Switzerland. According to the mentioned document above, if you are a private crypto investor, your crypto profits will be completely exempt from Capital Gains Tax. This is as long as you fulfill these five criteria:

1.     transaction volumes should not exceed five times the original capital
2.     holding period of crypto assets should be six months or more
3.     capital gains should be less than 50% of overall taxable income
4.     minimal usage of third-party financing (buy assets with your money)
5.     derivatives only used as a hedging tool

Note that as stated by the tax legislation document, if you violate two or more criteria, chances are that you may not be considered a private investor but a self-employed trader instead. If you are not sure that you will be considered a private investor or a self-employed trader, we recommend consulting a tax professional in Switzerland or the SFTA directly.

According to the tax legislation document, private investors don’t have to pay tax on their trading profits, but you might still need to pay Income Tax on cryptocurrency. Having your salary from a job being paid in a cryptocurrency, getting paid in crypto in exchange for services if you are a freelancer, or receiving crypto from activities such as mining will be considered income by the FTA.

Network users who use Holo to rent computing power to other users for hosting apps can earn HOT in exchange for their rental services. This allows Holochain’s mutual-credit accounting system to process billions of microtransactions every day. HOT coins can be used as the primary payment method on the network. HOT coins can be held as an investment or traded in the active cryptocurrency market for a profit.
