Who knows maybe, it would need to gain a lot more followers for it to do so. I kind of like the sound of Ethers as a currency unit. The thing that more and more banks are starting to realize is that "is crypto-currency a serious competitor to fiat". Absolutely!

What we know: "A spokeswoman for Barclays said the bank was looking at a number of blockchain technologies both internally and through partners, but would not comment on anything in particular at this stage. UBS said something similar." What they claim: "A source from Barclays told IBTimes that they [Ethereum] are front-runners [...]" Yeah, right.

It's definitely a worthy investment.

Will banks or technology companies experiment with, probably just like the experiment with bitcoin and other coins. If a bank ever uses the blockchain tech they will create there one coin, a la citicoin. Quote It's definitely a worthy investment. Lol i still needed a good laugh today. Ethereum is somewhat comparable with "Red Hat Linux" on blockchain tech. Yeh you may can build on it but open source software is not a investment to expect financial return. It maybe is a investment on ethical ground. On top of it a CEO with a track-record of 5 started and failed companies is not the most convincing argument for a worthy investment on his next attempt.

Why wouldn't be Ethereum also a cryptocurrency?
