Title: [2014-05-29] Bloomberg: Bitcoin Grabs Dutch Fancy as Bankers Mull New Technology Post by: LiteCoinGuy on May 29, 2014, 06:52:55 PM Bitcoin Grabs Dutch Fancy as Bankers Mull New Technology
While big banks in China and the U.S. are reluctant to do business with ventures focused on virtual currency, Dutch banks are embracing them as potential customers. National regulators aren’t cracking down as they are in other nations and major bitcoin startups are setting up shop in Amsterdam. Customers want change, and that change could be bitcoin, said Mark Buitenhek, ING Groep NV (INGA)’s global head of transaction services. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-05-29/bitcoin-grabs-dutch-fancy-as-bankers-mull-new-technolgy.html i guess bitcoin will always find a country who likes it ;) Title: Re: [2014-05-29] Bloomberg: Bitcoin Grabs Dutch Fancy as Bankers Mull New Technology Post by: DooMAD on May 29, 2014, 07:53:52 PM I suspect it'll be a domino effect once a couple of finance institutions are involved. If it turns a profit for them, the others will soon want a piece of the action. It'll probably start slowly, but then become an avalanche. Whether that's ultimately good for the rest of us is entirely another matter, though.
