Toward the end of interview, in fact here:

Frank Trotter, EverBank CEO

http://EverBank.com

Says he talks to Bitcoin developers

He appears concerned with "gaming the hashes". A valid concern, considering his position. Still, this is miles from how Bitcoin was perceived last year.

feels good :)

when they know its been running what...4 years? without the code compromised to anyone's knowledge. That is the power to sell the bitcoin idea

This.  Massively significant interview.  Trotter is a historically smart guy, and Everbank is a well-known, well-respected entity within the hard money & alternative investment community.  They were the first institution in the USA to offer foreign currency accounts/CDs, and would be a natural candidate to be the first to offer BTC-denominated accounts/CDs.  It's a fantastic revelation (better than Gavin's mythical September announcement?) that he knows about Bitcoin and is actually thinking about products and services around it.  

This clip and the Turk interview are extremely bullish leading indicators: if Bitcoin gets on the radar of private wealth managers as a portfolio diversifier, that means demand of potentially billions of dollars.

Stars are aligning.  Hold onto your coins.

greatly optimistic :). What James Turk interview are you referring to? I don't see any results for "James Turk Bitcoin" on YouTube

James Turk interview a thread or two up or down at this point.

We're going to witness a small transfer of wealth from the older generation of gold bugs to a younger generation of bit bugs. It'll float a lot of boats. And there won't be a damn thing anyone will be able to do about it. :)

i'm gonna make a thread compiling bitcoin interviews if there isn't one yet

bitbug, I like it :)

+1.  hey, i'm an older generation former gold bug now bit bug! :D

It already is on their radar? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=93839.0)

Well, someone has to be aligning the stars. Go Bitcoin Gods, Go!

Glad to see a few of us graybeards can still have a clue. ;)

This is great news, but that's the problem. Everyone is just "waiting for the point when they can step in", but no one would actually make the first step.

Why would no one make the first step?

I'm particularly interested to hear the theory since first steps have already been made.

Gotta love these kinds of adoption rumours, do always let us know of anything else you hear along these lines.

Waiting for BitInstant to chime in.

Interesting

Bitcoin is getting more and more attention!

yes.  way more.

Havent read/watched it yet but the title sounds great!

I know everbank from the famous dailypfennig and chuck butler, and i know they offer CD´s for all kind of speculation and investment.

This is crazy cool compared to last year... It's hard to believe actually.

Everbank were one of the only banks Ive ever seen that offered Icelandic Krona CD's. They were paying 12% interest, I think. That was before the crisis. But clearly Everbank are not afraid of the more exotic currency products.

great history lesson, thanks

thanks for this as well

Nice idea. I thought also in a video compilation using all the interviews, something fast (5-10 minutes tops), just nice bits, mixing questions and answers from the videos.

It will be nice to see everyone who ever talked about Bitcoin (Gavin, Amir, Max, Roger, Erik, Stephen, Jered, Falkvinge, Matonis, Nefario, Brito, Trace Mayer, Charlie Shrem, Moreno, Turk etc.) in one video. The power of editing!

It's a big work (hours of material, calibrate sound and color levels etc.), but nevertheless interesting job.

It's being talked about in a positive light. That is another great step forward.

in my words, he tries to figure out if Bitcoin is unbreakable and if they have the proof they will step into. but then it's to late because everyone tries to step into at this point.  ;D

Completely agree. If he waits until this point then he will be way wayyyy too late. There is a element of risk in any investment. You don't make the big bucks by being a lemming. Once in a while you have to step out on the ledge and take a chance. Just make sure it's a calculated one. I personally believe bitcoin is well calculated risk.

well guys send him an email(s) or contact

Due to CEO Frank Trotter's recent interview here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yB7NVVRraw#t=13m50s

There is a great demand among Bitcoin user's for EverBank to add Bitcoin as a currency they can trade through your service

Bitcoin as a currency has been in use for 3-4 years without hint of anyone 'breaking' the code.

It's transaction history is documentary by every user and their processing power builds the 'blockchain' storing all the history. No one can make up their own coins because no other node in the network would accept it because it is fraudulent and where it came from is not documented. One person can lookup where coins from a transaction came from to verify them.

I sincerely hope as many people as needed  at EverBank and looking and working to include this digital currency in your service; others looking at it as well gives a big opportunity for the first major mainstream bank or exchange to grab a significant market share and customer base by being the first to do so.

Thanks

Can you please change the color, this is really hurting (black on red)
