Coins: the route these cashiers were built for

What the cashiers carry

Between them the cashiers read carry around two dozen different units, but three of them appear almost everywhere: Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT. Hold one of those three and you will practically always find a cashier that takes it — saving the conversion that is otherwise the most expensive stop on the stretch.

Stable units against moving ones

One difference matters more in practice than the number of units: a unit like USDT or USDC is pegged to the dollar and barely moves, while Bitcoin and Ethereum can swing noticeably between deposit and withdrawal. Play in a moving unit and you have two open positions at once — the game and the price.

For a reader coming from francs that means: the route through a stable unit keeps the arithmetic manageable, because only the conversion on purchase and on sale counts, not the time in between. Which cashiers carry such a unit stands in the table above.

The network fee and the right amount

Sending incurs a network fee that does not depend on the amount but on how busy the network is. The same fee is painful at 50 francs and barely noticeable at 500. The same rule follows as for every other route: rarer and in larger steps is cheaper than often and small.

The way back

The greatest advantage of this route lies in its symmetry: what went in as a settlement unit comes back as the same unit, and the stretch is the same — only in reverse. Unlike with a card or a prepaid code, you do not have to plan the way back separately. What you do have to plan is the check that falls due first: every entry states what the terms say about it.

The check stands at the start of the way back

The way back in a settlement unit is technically the simplest of them all: same stretch, same address, in reverse. What stands in front of it is the check. Across the twelve entries in the ranking the range runs from an express deadline in days, through stated thresholds in euros and dollars, to a clause that simply reserves a check «at any time». That statement matters more to the way back than any fee, because it decides whether anything is sent at all. It stands in every row of the ranking with its clause number, and it is one of the five inputs the score is built from.

Coins is one of five routes that come into question from a Swiss account. Which one is cheapest depends less on the name of the route than on the number of conversions it demands — and on whether the way out and the way back are the same.
