Title: Opening a bank account with Bitcoins. Post by: Lizmay on July 31, 2013, 03:04:47 PM I'm thinking of opening a separate bank account just for my Bit coins if I need to access them. Had anyone done this, and with which institution. I travel a lot and would need to use one of the larger ones, unfortunately.

Title: Re: Opening a bank account with Bitcoins. Post by: Lizmay on July 31, 2013, 03:27:27 PM Thank you. I'm a u.s. resident based in Florida, but as a flight attendant travel to the Caribbean and South America, specifically Brazil a lot. I'm basically looking for a bank, or credit to tranfer some of my Bitcoins into as an emergency/ fun travel account.

Post by: KingOfSports on July 31, 2013, 06:43:45 PM One of the main points of bitcoin is that is it decentralized, and there really is no banks that hold it. If you are looking to gain interest on your BTC then I would advise using coinlenders or another service. As for quick cash in an emergency there is a couple sites that will send you a debit card and you can get funds off it using a spot price -5% or so for the fee.
