Bitcoin Suisse Founder: European Banks Will Soon Offer Bitcoin Wallets


Bitcoin Suisse founder, Niklas Nikolajsen, has said that European bank accounts will eventually be offering bitcoin wallets.
In an interview with finews.ch at the Fintech Conference Finance 2.0, Nikolajsen explained that while European banks will soon be providing bitcoin wallets he didn’t specify which banks these would be, only that it would ‘not be an exotic bank.’
While digital currencies such as bitcoin are faster and cheaper than traditional banking methods, it seems that the notion that banks will be providing bitcoin wallets anytime soon is unrealistic. Nikolajsen seems to think, though, that the change to the banking system will take place by the end of 2016.

I thought the top banks had already concluded on having their own coin.

Small banks having bitcoin wallets sounds somewhat odd.

From what I remember, they didn't conclude to issue their own coin. They was just testing the blockchain coding, seeing how it works, etc.


To the OP: If you remember Satoshi stated: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"


It seems that replacing the money system with a digital currency is the next solution. We shall see.
