Regardless of how you look at it, banks don’t care about Bitcoin as a currency, and they probably never will.  Or not in a positive manner, that is.  As long as there is no unified regulatory ruling on how Bitcoin should be treated by financial institutions and governments, there will always be doubts regarding digital currency’s legitimacy.

Apparently, legitimate money is the type that the ostensible owner of the funds has either limited or zero control over. Is there any real point of having money if the "owner" can't choose how to use it?
