Title: Why Banks are attacking Bitcoin ?
Post by: cryptorampage on February 01, 2018, 09:27:22 PM
Day by day we are getting news like , this country reject bitcoin that country accept Bitcoin. Technically it stands a contrast perspective with the Central Bank and the economy of the country. But as I love BITCOIN , I pray Every single country will accept BITCOIN one day.

No Liabilities or debt with BITCOIN:

Bitcoin is a conveyor machine, meaning that there are no liabilities or debts associated with it. You can't get loan from it , or you can't get profit through interest.  If you hold it, it’s yours. And as such, there can be no run on a “bitcoin bank.” It's Independent.

Bitcoin is considered as Fiat Currency :
Of course you can assume,  holding bitcoin superior in many ways to holding fiat currency in a deposit account. Here Fiat currency are those which can not be backed by commodities . It has all the benefits without the risk of capital controls. Because of this, the growth of bitcoin is sucking value out of national currencies. The higher capital will rise the higher value it will get.

The Capital is really HUGE
I think there is now more than $70B worth of bitcoin sitting in bitcoin wallets.One thing to consider here , the asset is not under any management. So we can call it AUP (Asset Under Management ) , but we can call it Assets Under Protection (AUP). And here is where the risk to traditional banking resides. What does a world look like when a simple bitcoin wallet is indirectly protecting as much money as big giant companies , organizations like  Bank of America or Fargo etc.

Wallet Becomes Bank
At that point that wallet becomes a bank, Haha , a newer form of bank with decentralized function, with different rules, operations, and monetization policy.

The Last Reason-  PEOPLES LOVE BITCOIN
The real reason that banks should worry about People loves BITCOIN. People always love easy process, better stability and full control. All things are available in this case. Bitcoin actually threatens the bedrock policy  and business model of Banks. That's why Banks are attacking Bitcoin.

I am trying to write good article and trying to research more to build good article. Really dreaming to get first MERIT. Thanks you guys. (Forgive me for any mistake) :D :D :D

The main reason (why banks don't like btc and other cryptos) is the loss of profits.
Transactions made via blockchain kills transactions made via banks.

But the topic is essential! It should be upped!

Agree! We all must take a piece of world money pie (from banks) by using crypto assets.

Bitcoin as a payment solution is a good opponent of banks. That's why the don't like Bitcoin. It also has an advantage of being a currency that any bank can not beat. So, most economists don't like Bitcoin both as a payment solution and as a currency. That's why they say Bitcoin is a bubble time to time...

Exchanges are the new banks. You can even lend your bitcoins to margin traders and make small gains. There may not be any run on exchanges, but there is always the equivalent of a bank-robbery (hacking of an exchange).

Dear sir ,
Most of the people commending the strong one, who don't need the merit. They actually passed the minimum requirement to get higher level. Only to impress medium account like "member" giving merit to the legendary.
Sir I don't play any ico or signature. I love this forum. How could we (weak account) passed the bar and level up.

People count there Smerit before giving some one. Like should I give him? And if that account is weak , the chance becomes lower.

Why I am requesting :
I have written 6 good article , each article took me 1day to write. But then no one gave me that point. Thats why I started requesting , Hmm I know it looks bad. But we need to be more generous and kind to the low level account. Otherwise we will not pass. You could say it begging but it is necessary because this system is still new.

I am saying again merit system is not the badge , it is not controlled by software , if you guys (strong /higher lvl ) don't give us , no one will. I am sorry if I did any wrong.

Especially central banks are getting affected by the rise of cryptocurrency in the world today because many people choosing saving in their bitcoin wallet rather on bank, they rather risk their money on bitcoin than saving on banks because it is more affordable and efficient.

Because banks are so afraid not just on bitcoin but in all cryptocurrency. If this thing will fully implement in the coming years well the profit of banks will reduce since we can easily transfer money around the world and a bit more faster.

This topic already exists as I know.
Anyway,you said that bankers profit will reduce,okay its logically but today they have already started to create their own exchanges,this means that banks also looking for new ways to get more profit from this situation,But it's a bit unclear Which banks are you talking about? there are two kind of banks Federal (national)  and commercial banks,National banks are afraid because of its emission,noone regulate its emission and thats problem for them,but for commercial banks don't worry they will always find alternative ways to earn good profits,becuase they usually don't have incomes only from transactions,the scope of their activities is much wider,for example they are in construction business,etc...

Although I agree with most of what you say, this first point is simply false. There are liabilities and debt with bitcoin. You don’t need to go very far to check it:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=65.0 (lending board)

You can also check casino investments, or freebitco.in giving a fixed 4% interest on your bitcoin.

A bank could perfectly give bitcoin loans and also pay interest.

It all boils down to business. Banks are afraid that soon a big chunk of their business volume can be affected because a good number of people are shifting to cryptocurrency or to those companies that are involved with cryptocurrency. It is all about fighting for your own kingdom or captured market. Consequently, many leaders of the banking sectors  are painting some negative spins about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. What these people forgot is that they are actually the very reason why Bitcoin came into being...on their failure to stop the many financial crisis the country experienced in the past.

Banks are a lot more scared of tripping some existing regulation than they are of losing business to Bitcoin.

Think it over. There are people clamouring to drag them into an area that's completely unregulated in most countries. Finance is one of the most heavily regulated areas in the world and the penalties for ballsing up are severe.

Until there's clear and straightforward guidelines for them to adhere to, no right thinking bank will want anything to do with crypto. It's a world of pain with little upside.

The main reason that banks are  always attacking Bitcoin or digital currencies is the financial losses and the decrease of Fiat value. Furthermore, They are afraid of the continued existence of  Bitcoin at the summit of the digital currencies, so they invested a huge value in other currencies in order to  affect negatively the  value of Bitcoin.

Their main concern atm is crypto as an instrument for money laundering and tax evasion. So in 2018 we will see more regulations for fiat-crypto gateways (exchanges and the like) to prevent anonymity.I don't think it is under attack.Many banks/governments are still in the state of evaluation.

Banks have different approach when it comes to cryptocurrencies but most of them doesn't like bitcoin as they were kept saying that bitcoin is somewhat a ponzi scheme and can manipulate the price by those big waves, but some country/central banks sees this as an opportunity to lessen the transactions in bank each day.

Post by: sparkystacey on February 06, 2018, 06:45:32 PM
I think its a gross generalization to say they are against bitcoin. They are against risk, and for protecting customer's money. That is the principle they were created to endorse.

They are working on their own solutions utilizing blockchain. For instance, they are using blockchain to wipe out SWIFT (the ultimate middle man) and to even create some of their own coins. Many of the biggest banks, including JP Morgan whose been the most critical publicly of exuberance and investment, has been working on Quorum, releasing a 2.0 version that is closely aligned with Ethereum. 

They are being protectionist, and to some degree maybe overdoing it to underscore their own value, but banks are definitely working closely with the technologies to make sure they are part of this ecosystem as it unfolds.

Govt are affraid of losing financial control on money. As govt run by taxes and using digital payment system cuts down the taxes in my opinion and govt cannot trace transaction. In my opinion this is the reason.
They are afraid of losing financial control from the community because it can ruin the banking economy and also those people who have big amount in the banks can also withdraw that money.

And if that happens the bank will lose a lot of big fund that can affect their lending business so they are attacking and afraid of bitcoin. While it is still early to see the future, they are doing their best to stop bitcoin because its decentralized means uncontrollable.

It does not cut taxes! Blockchain transactions are visible and stay visible forever because it's impossible to take down all nodes at once. So blockchain is much more transparent than normal transactions. If a bank manager wants to wire money somewhere under the table he can do it and make it the way the banking system doesn't recognize it. If it's a small sum connected to a number of big wires until and on top of that there balance remains positive or neutral, nobody will bother to investigate. That's why bankers used to be the biggest money launderers for the mafia back in the day.

They are still doing so for large criminal organisations. It's impossible that without their help, billions and billions of criminal money each year ends up in the legal circuit, and these transactions come with very high commissions.

Banks are one of the biggest criminal entities ththemselves. They are looking to attract wealthy foreign clients, but have absolutely zero problems snitching on them by reporting their holdings to their tax agency.

Banks also help in financing wars, which basically makes them the worst possible scum on this plannet. I am glad that we have Bitcoin to be used as safe haven, and more people start to understand this as well.

Here is also my some thoughts for the reason  banks are totally not supporting bitcoin.
1. People investing in bitcoin has the big chance to earn big than in a bank.
2. Your money is sleeping in a bank in such a long period of time and only but making only a small amount of profit while investing it in bitcoin is more profitable.

Traditional banks will fall down if they let bitcoin to take the lead. But I doubt that there thing or someone that can stop it from reigning.

You got some merits from me man! 8) Actually this post do really have these strong points why banks don't really like bitcoin at all or doesn't really even recognized to be part of it because it do acts oppositely on what banks do offer. If people would able to find out on how does it works then its normal people will surely make use of it instead of banks but the thing we should always think of is on the risk involved which we see that it has higher risk than on putting your money simply on banks.

Simply because they knew the threat of bitcoins being on top of the line preferred by most people to invest in rather than putting all of their money in a bank account which earn a little fixed interest rate. And since bitcoins are not mandated by financial institutions and the government it is much easier to do transactions rather than banks.

Banks are not totally attacking bitcoin, some don't mind them some just don't care, but those who are in the Central banks are the one who does not like the idea of having a cryptocurrency since they have noticed that their transactions  had affected by cryptos especially in trading/investing.

Banks are regulated and Bitcoin is deregulated. Based on this to Banks, Bitcoins are illegible on line currency possible of being scammed no matter how secured or encrypted its wallet might be. So, Banks get to wander why people still believe and invest in it instead of securing/keeping their money in Banks which is of more importance to them. Secondly, how can Bankers secure employment if Bitcoin is now generally accepted, since they as middle men shall be abolished or reduced drastically.

Its normal and natural for banks to attack any financial system or any financial model that seems to make people remove their money from banks to partake in, especially if that financial system is not regulated like bitcoin. BAnd not just banks even governments are wary of bitcoin

I think it’s more than just money laundering and tax evasion which concerns them. I think they have noticed that many have profited largely through bitcoin, and this scares them because it is foreign and unfamiliar to them. They can't understand where all the money is coming from since they don't understand what bitcoin is. For them, it is unstable and it's not secure - which is the complete opposite of what banks are. As for now, banks are indifferent towards bitcoin and although they don't attack it directly, they still have an unsure position towards it.

Banks are attacking bitcoin because Banks say Bitcoin and other currencies are by no means currencies because it has no real value, they are pure speculative objects, it's a bubble and it is dangerous, it has technical limitations for users,  it could trigger substantial risks in the side of investors and potential risks in financial stability.

I’ve heard of some central banks who are open to the idea of cryptocurrency. This must have been the case because there has been a rising number of cryptousers within the area. They say that if you can’t beat them, you join them.

Not all banks have made actions toward crypto or bitcoin, and I don’t think that they would attempt to attack it. Most just don’t know what to do because they are not familiar with it and lack knowledge on the concept. They may feel threatened because it concerns their industry however banks won’t make any drastic moves toward bitcoin.

That's why Bitcoin was created in order to run as opposite of what the banks do because Satoshi believed that through Bitcoin everyone would not put their money on the banks where the government can easily lock and tax their account and money without their consent and permission. Through Bitcoin you will see the transparency of every transactions that was made by every single person with the help of blockchain technology.

because Bitcoin is not under the control of banks.the banks don'tt like things that are not in the bank controls.
Aside from that bitcoin is the biggest competitors of the Banks, it was due to good and effective features of this crypto currency. Many people are attracted to invest in this coin instead of investing to other crypto currencies.
Moreover transactions using bitcoin is much easier compared to banks, that's why many people and users are patronizing that project.

And however the banks are closely related to the government, if indeed the country government assesses bitcoin could harm the country / disrupt the state's financial system, it would certainly be banned and would be support if it's indeed it couldn't harm to the country.

Transactions made via blockchain kills transactions made via banks.

But the topic is essential! It should be upped!

Obviously and it's true, transactions that have been done by bitcoin users do not go through the bank, obviously they know that the transactions are very large, they do not receive some of these benefits.
is it possible the bank will plunge to be able to complete and participate in bitcoin transactions, possibly of course there are, but there are obstacles that will be experienced by the banking of course. because of the difference of the transaction.

Actually, many banks are aspiring to break Bitcoin and of course, there is a big support from their governments. As well, it is very unfortunate that they are always attacking this currency, but the only reason is the financial losses and the widespread economic crisis in many countries and due to there is a decrease in the value of their currencies (FIAT).
As a matter of fact, the digital currencies and especially "Bitcoin" have become more successful than before, and these currencies are always criticized from many governments (Banks) because  they are not beneficiaries of financial transactions and there has been an increase in the number of  cryptocurrencies users.
In fact,  I think that the continuation of Bitcoin development and other currencies  will lead to recognition from all governments.

I think, What is most feared by economists and banks around the world is the collapse of the global banking system.

Due to the presence of bitcoin, people do not have to bother using bank services to store or transfer the money, because using bitcoin is much cheaper and relatively more secure.

Bitcoin is also very profitable to invest because the price is very fast rise.

Then because of its anonymity, consumers prefer bitcoin as its flagship rather than a bank.

The main reason behind attacking Bitcoin is, they are not getting any benefits from the transaction what they are doing and for cryptocurrency business there is no middle in between us this make very frustrating and banks are making lot of pressure on governments.

I don't think that there is a clear attack banks are doing to Bitcoin. I mean the only thing with significance I have seen lately is some banks have banned cryptocurrency purchases on their customer's credit card, and for me that is understandable. Their customers buying a risky asset on a credit will mean bad business for them. So I totally understand why they want to be on the safe side of business, even that kind of move made by a bank does not show a direct attack to Bitcoin. Can someone here give me an example of an attack that was done by a bank to Bitcoin?

Post by: richardsNY on February 22, 2018, 06:54:13 PM
Can someone here give me an example of an attack that was done by a bank to Bitcoin?

Let me name up a few:

-- Banks prohibiting crypto credit purchases.
-- Banks prohibiting people from wiring money to crypto exchanges.
-- Banks prohibiting businesses from getting involved in anything crypto related as long as they make use of that specific bank.
-- Polish central bank paid a YouTuber to discredit crypto.
-- Bank CEO's discrediting Bitcoin and say it's a fraud.

And there may be a few more that I might have missed. But it's more than enough to conclude that banks don't like Bitcoin, to be more specifically. If you don't think these are attacks on crypto, then I don't know what you will ever consider to be an attack. And these are the attacks that are known already. I am sure that just like the Polish central bank did, there are more banks sponsoring anti crypto campaigns. It's just a matter of time before that becomes publicly known as well. Bitcoin is the biggest threat to them that has ever emerged, and that's what makes them afraid of what has to come. I love it.

While I do agree that Bitcoin poses a serious threat to the banking system, I am also of believe that it could boost their way of doing business to a whole new level. They just need to get rid of their inside hate towards Bitcoin.

If they play it well, and make use of Bitcoin's popularity to offer all kinds of services based on Bitcoin, I have no doubt that they will change from hater to lover. Bitcoin is the new and improved version of gold.

The fear of allowing something new to stand up is what's holding them back. I seriously wish they will let go of that to finally understand that Bitcoin means progression, and not failure of the banking system.

Banks attacking the bitcoin because they are afraid to lose their depositors. Instead of saving in their bank accounts people prepared to save in their bitcoin wallet because it has a greater changes to earn extra profit if the value of bitcoin gets high. Also instead of using online banking for payments and exchange transaction the people would likely use bitcoin because it generates low fees and penalties.

The main reason (why banks don't like btc and other cryptos) is decentralization, each person owns a personal asset, fully managing its assets. Banks in this case remain on the sidelines (not at the feeder). So they take measures to stay afloat.

A lot of people has invested or bought bitcoins including those who uses banks for their savings. Bitcoin is becoming the people's currency because many are preferred to invest in it than in the banks. It has also the potential to become a new currency that can possibly replace any national currency in the future and it can't even controlled by governments and big banks. This is the reason why banks want to limit the cryptocurrency potential because they are really threatened by its popularity.

Not only because of that now Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are not running themselves and they are not making the commission on those. Bitcoin is the decentralized platform where people can transfer the money without any mediator like banks. This makes more frustrating about it.

The main reason (why banks don't like btc and other cryptos) is decentralization, each person owns a personal asset, fully managing its assets. Banks in this case remain on the sidelines (not at the feeder). So they take measures to stay afloat.

They are really protecting their businesses cause literally blockchain technology can beat them in terms of transacting payments. Though some banks are now adopting cryptocurrency I still believe that they are afraid to be left out. Bitcoin is amazing that can really change our financial system in the future.

Obviously banks are scared with Bitcoin. I think bank is getting obsolete in transactions. Aside from that bitcoin tarnsaction is very fast and banks charge fees everytime.  Bitcoin transacs directly to the person. No need for middle man which is the banks so i guess this is the reason bank keeps attacking bitcoin.

Local fiat's value is crashed and banks business is ruined down due to crypto currencies especially Bitcoin. The reason every government is against or hesitating to accept bitcoin is bitcoin dominates local currencies. Crypto currencies being on top in the currency market truly affects the growth of banks.  People invest in crypto coins rather than fiat's,  thus ocal currencies value is thrown to the air and banks business is gone.

Banks cannot really compete with cryptocurrency. But they have Fiat. Each of us cannot now refuse to use Fiat. So we are vulnerable. But as soon as it becomes possible to use cryptocurrency to buy goods directly, the world will change. Bankers have been parasitic on us for a long time. Now it's our turn to watch them go bankrupt. I bought a ticket in the front row.

Banks spreading fake news about bitcoins and other crypto because it allows people to trade directly with each other and no need a middleman like banks so banks will not get any interests or charges from it.
They want to destroy bitcoin before it destroy them because bitcoin affects alot negative into banks, Big governments and Banks will lose seigniorage income means the advantages to derived from printing money and losing the ability to handle money that flows between banks and economy.

It's again the business competition I would say.  Fiat's Vs Crypto currencies. As crypto started ruling the currency market, revenue earned from fiat's are falling back and loosing it's value amongst investors.

Banks are the backbone of a government. To sustain them economically, bank forces the government to take action against crypto entering into their country.  Everything is on at business motivation.

Banks become worthless because of this block chain technology, people can have control over their money and the return in investment is higher with bitcoin.

A lot of people has invested or bought bitcoins including those who uses banks for their savings. Bitcoin is becoming the people's currency because many are preferred to invest in it than in the banks. It has also the potential to become a new currency that can possibly replace any national currency in the future and it can't even controlled by governments and big banks. This is the reason why banks want to limit the cryptocurrency potential because they are really threatened by its popularity.

I think bitcoin maybe not replace any national currency, because bitcoin like virtual money but have investment in there. So people more do investment in bitcoin because they know bitcoin more profitable more than gold. Or somepeople already have experience do investment before in bitcoin and get profit, and they buy more bitcoin again to investment for their future.

Banks lose their customers. They can't compete with cryptocurrency. But the worst part is that governments are allies of banks. Therefore, we see that the conditions for the exchange of cryptocurrencies for Fiat are constantly complicated and additional restrictions are introduced.

I don't think it is under attack.Many banks/governments are still in the state of evaluation.Their main concern atm is crypto as an instrument for money laundering and tax evasion.So in 2018 we will see more regulations for fiat-crypto gateways (exchanges and the like) to prevent anonymity.I don't think,crypto is seen as a real thread right now,but this may change with growing adoption.
I think it's very simple. Banks are afraid of competition from cryptocurrencies. They will never be able to coexist peacefully. People have no confidence in banks and therefore cryptocurrencies very quickly capture new users. The entire capitalization of the cryptocurrencies is lost revenue for banks. This is only the beginning. The problems of the banks will increase. Banks with cryptocurrencies play on the same field but cryptocurrencies play better.

The fact is that banks are part of the public management system. National banks regulate the issue and turnover of national currency and bitcoin is an alternative to the banking structure and at the same time it is not under the control of the state!

This is the reason for the attacks

We do respect them that banks are having a negative side when it comes to cryptocurrency, since it is hard for the government to create regulation on it since they don't control the price, I am just hoping that one day crypto and banks unite and we can freely transact crypto in bank.

Day by day we are getting news like , this country reject bitcoin that country accept Bitcoin. Technically it stands a contrast perspective with the Central Bank and the economy of the country. But as I love BITCOIN , I pray Every single country will accept BITCOIN one day.

No Liabilities or debt with BITCOIN:

Bitcoin is a conveyor machine, meaning that there are no liabilities or debts associated with it. You can't get loan from it , or you can't get profit through interest.  If you hold it, it’s yours. And as such, there can be no run on a “bitcoin bank.” It's Independent.

Bitcoin is considered as Fiat Currency :
Of course you can assume,  holding bitcoin superior in many ways to holding fiat currency in a deposit account. Here Fiat currency are those which can not be backed by commodities . It has all the benefits without the risk of capital controls. Because of this, the growth of bitcoin is sucking value out of national currencies. The higher capital will rise the higher value it will get.

The Capital is really HUGE
I think there is now more than $70B worth of bitcoin sitting in bitcoin wallets.One thing to consider here , the asset is not under any management. So we can call it AUP (Asset Under Management ) , but we can call it Assets Under Protection (AUP). And here is where the risk to traditional banking resides. What does a world look like when a simple bitcoin wallet is indirectly protecting as much money as big giant companies , organizations like  Bank of America or Fargo etc.

Wallet Becomes Bank
At that point that wallet becomes a bank, Haha , a newer form of bank with decentralized function, with different rules, operations, and monetization policy.

The Last Reason-  PEOPLES LOVE BITCOIN
The real reason that banks should worry about People loves BITCOIN. People always love easy process, better stability and full control. All things are available in this case. Bitcoin actually threatens the bedrock policy  and business model of Banks. That's why Banks are attacking Bitcoin.

This topic has been discussed many times already, but in fairness to your research you made a very strong point. This is just few of the reasons why there are countries and banks  who hates and ban Bitcoin.

Maybe some reason why bank are attacking bitcoin are the loss of their profits, it is because bitcoin is decentralized cryptocurrencies and allowing people to trade directly with each other without any papers agreement. The bank against bitcoin because they cannot collect a charge fees for doing anything with money or maybe they scared when the time comes, lot of people will divert their money deposit unto bitcoin.

Crypto currency completely violates the established by the centuries methods and rules of financial settlements between individuals and legal entities in any country. Being by nature very conservative, banks do not like anything new. In addition, they always worked with secured money. Crypto currency for banks is not only a completely new phenomenon, but also unacceptable according to existing rules and instructions.
However, the main reason why banks are attacking the crypto currency is that the crypto currency attracts more and more people and they stop using the services of banks and they lose their profits from this. Because of this, representatives of banks almost always criticize the crypto currency from their outdated position, often going into lies and ordering and spreading about the crypto currency of false negative information, as it was recently with the Polish bank, which for 30,000 dollars ordered the spreading of false negative information on social networks crypto currency.

At the end its business. Fiats are the competitors of crypto currencies. If the government allows crypto currencies occupy the market, fiats will lose its value, When it loses value the economy of the country will be at toss. Hence the government is not allowing bitcoin or any other currencies into its country. Though they welcome bitcoin by creating their own crypto currencies, they do not accept bitcoin. This is the reason banks do not appreciate bitcoin to enter into the market.

All people who use bitcoin do not give up Fiat money. Therefore, bitcoin is not a direct competitor for Fiat. But banks may lose their working capital. Why keep money in banks and fear that they will be blocked or will get under a press of tax. Banks are becoming an extra link. People do not need intermediaries that are very expensive.

Very true but banks are not united of this so-called stand against Bitcoin because here in our country, our banks are fully supporting Bitcoin in which most of the major banks are in partnership with our local exchanges that we could use their cash out facilities anytime and anywhere in the country. In addition, our central bank is in support to legalize bitcoin in our country so that it could be regulate. So therefore not all banks is not against Bitcoin.

Its probably not surprising to us if banks are going to buy all the BTC to have the control over this craze. Its going to be unfortunate to them still because there are tons of altcions rising apart from bitcoin. They are currently trying to also have their own though, some are also trying XRP, I think they are going to dominate son when all is well with XRP. And when this happen I think the attack on BTC may stop.

How can banks buy all bitcoins? That isn't possible. In order to destroy bitcoin banks have to buy all the coins and put them on hold. Imagine how the price of bitcoins will rise in such a situation. The last coins will be sold for billions of dollars. After that, Satoshi Nakomoto 2 will appear and say that he created a more modern bitcoin. There's never gonna be one.

Big Banks want to destroy Bitcoin before it destroys them.
Bitcoin, the “people’s currency,” has the potential to become a new currency, free of the control of big governments and big banks.
That’s why they both want to limit this potential. Each one in their own way. Big governments by stepping up regulations of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and by shutting down cryptocurrency exchanges, as the Chinese government has announced recently, crushing cryptocurrencies.

I can't say that majority of the central banks of different nations are directly shutting down Bitcoin. Only a few of them officially do not recognize Bitcoin as a mode of payment. Most of the central bank is doing are issuing warnings to their citizens about the common scams associated to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This are of course investment schemes such as HYIPs and cloud mining sites. What I can say about that is not a direct threat to Bitcoin but rather a notice to the greater welfare of their citizens.

I agree with you. Banks attack for not only the reason you drafted above, but it includes the following. Business competition is another main point to look at. Crypto currencies are most welcomed and looked upon in the currency market. Investors are towards bitcoin and other crypto currencies. There seems to be less sharps being into local currencies. This decreases fiats revenue than bitcoin.

Banks attacked Bitcoin because the bank did not want its position replaced with Bitcoin. Banks just want the whole community to use real money instead of Bitcoin. The bank must feel rivaled by Bitcoin.

From Jamie Dimon to the most unpopular bank executive around the world, the fact is that they all feel threatened cryptocurrencies would someday in the near future end the era where they have control and profit over people's resources and give them next to nothing interest in return. They feel the coming into mainstream of bitcoin and other cryptos alike will end their jobs. At a forum with senior Central bank executive in my country on cryptos, one of them made it clear they were actually against it because they strongly feel crypto guys were going to take over their jobs. Of course the two can co-exist, but most likely one would make the other much less relevant and that is sure to be cryptos.

Bitcoin is a conveyor machine, meaning that there are no liabilities or debts associated with it. You can't get loan from it , or you can't get profit through interest.  If you hold it, it’s yours. And as such, there can be no run on a “bitcoin bank.” It's Independent.

Bitcoin is considered as Fiat Currency :
Of course you can assume,  holding bitcoin superior in many ways to holding fiat currency in a deposit account. Here Fiat currency are those which can not be backed by commodities . It has all the benefits without the risk of capital controls. Because of this, the growth of bitcoin is sucking value out of national currencies. The higher capital will rise the higher value it will get.

The Capital is really HUGE
I think there is now more than $70B worth of bitcoin sitting in bitcoin wallets.One thing to consider here , the asset is not under any management. So we can call it AUP (Asset Under Management ) , but we can call it Assets Under Protection (AUP). And here is where the risk to traditional banking resides. What does a world look like when a simple bitcoin wallet is indirectly protecting as much money as big giant companies , organizations like  Bank of America or Fargo etc.

Wallet Becomes Bank
At that point that wallet becomes a bank, Haha , a newer form of bank with decentralized function, with different rules, operations, and monetization policy.

I would better word as competition between fiat currency and crypto currency. Banks are on fiats. Though local fiats are the main source for every government, crypto has shown its strength in last few years in the market that they can lead the country with more wealth then the local fiats. Yes it does. Crypto has given a wealthy lives to its users and the government who accepted it. As crypto currency is mainly looked at now by the investors, fiats and banks are against it attacking its growth by many means.

Banks are attacking bitcoin due to competition. If bitcoin enters the value of fiat will lose its value, this the main reason banks are not accepting bitcoin. If they accept bitcoin their country economy will go down. So banks are afraid to accept bitcoin.
In fact, the banks are afraid of Bitcoin's ad, so Bitcoin is worth 15,000 or $ 1,500 does not matter. But when Bitcoin goes up to $ 20,000, everyone is talking more about Bitcoin, and the flow of money flows towards Bitcoin.

because of the loss of profits. banks are afraid about it. its gonna be real if they dont adopt the technology . but if they adopt the technology of having a blockchain. the end are same still loss of profits. they cannot build a decentralize blockchain for  their bussiness. who people in the world show his confidential documents,transaction in public.  the only thing i think they can build  is a private blockchain in short. (private database) still the same.

Banks don't like bitcoin because they think it's a threat to the fiat. In my opinion i think it's the influence of countries since they think their currencies are at risk, becaue the banks accept crypto as part of their system. Also banks are cheating and getting money from us so they'll fight against any form of financial freedom
When in fact it is the truth, the true existence of bitcoin is to make the world becomes cash less to make changes in the whole world, so  far we can see right now that it is too far to happen, let us see what will happen in the future, but so far banks are attacking bitcoin as they know what could happen in the Economy in the future.

Because of banks and governments think that bitcoin is one of their competitive near in future, and may this lead to corruption of some politicians that hiding their real identity and may use for illegal activities for them. They attact bitcoin because they want to regulate the money for the people from bitcoin of their country and to have tax on it but they failed on it so that's why some of countries are banning not only bitcoin but all crypto currencies.

Luckily our government and banks here are embracing and recognized bitcoin as a kind of currency, so we are enjoying in crypto world.

Or maybe because cryptomarket is usually a good way to orginize their economical activities? So what I can say is that all of commercial banks are interested only in their own business and they don't care about something,I don't know what kind of attack he/she means but its obvious commercial banks are using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for their economical goals...Even goverment agencies participate in the market in order to achieve specific goals and maybe its not an attack,who knows...today the main factor is to not damage  the boundary between banks and cryptos,which is impossible for me but it depends only on people's knowledge and experience...

I think the problem is not in the price. when bitcoin becomes popular certainly many people will see the existing facilities on bitcoin and many people see that saving money in bitcoin will give absolute freedom to transact and save money. without any control and intervention from anyone and that's a stark contrast with the bank. I think that's what the bank is afraid of

Maybe you are right but I said that they use this situation for their own well-being,I know a lot of commercial banks who have created crypto exchanges and crypto wallets into their consumers account,for me,This means that they believe in it and they expect more income from cryptos  than from their banking activity.Its not about big banks and of course there are also opponents,which are trying everything to share only negative about bitcoin,but I think time will put everything in its place...

Adding another point into it. Cryptos and bitcoin are actually unregulated which means there is no centralized authority which can affect its price or supply directly. So this makes these banks worried as they will now not be able to control the money supply and demand in bad times. Governments will not be able to trace you out and collect taxes from you. So this is why banks are attacking bitcoins.

That is right, that is why banks does not want bitcoin because they don't want that some of their depositors or investors will swift their investment that should be put in bank but will just put their investment in cryptocurrency, that is why they are seeing cryptos as a threat.

Simply because cryptos are the biggest competitors of the banks in so many ways. And what they are threatened more would might be the bank big investors will change of heart to rather invest in bitcoin and withdraw their assets from the bank. In that case lots of bank will be gone and declared bankruptcy and that scares them even more.

This is business all about. A cold war against one currency to the other currencies. as crypto is ruling  the currency market now,  banks are bit behind profits. The banks are the back bone of every government and this is the reason many governments lack back in accepting bitcoin or any other crypto currencies which will cause loose fiat's values slowly.  So no surprise if banks fight against bitcoin or any other crypto currencies.

Banks will still try to attack the crypto currency until it becomes firmly entrenched in the society and the banks will have no choice but to accept the existence of the crypto currency. It is necessary to take into account that the crypto currency is distracting their clients from banks and they suffer huge losses from this. Therefore, they often become the initiators of campaigns to discredit crypto currency, often paying them, as it was recently with one of the banks of Poland, which ordered for 30 000 dollars false negative information about the crypto currency in social networks. Only when the crypto currency is legalized in most states, only then will the banks reconcile with this position and will coexist with the crypto currency, adapting to the changed situation.

Generally, banks want to eliminate bitcoin as they see it as a threat to their system. They believe that they must remove it before it removes them! Due to bitcoin being free from any government control and people are utilising it as an alternative currency, banks are somehow reluctant that it may become so large that people would start choosing it over them! Remember, banks are also controlled by most philanthropist and they consider it as business. Who would not want to eliminate other threats that may disrupt their earnings?

Well it doesn't happen at my place because my bank's governor already declare that bitcoin is forbidden and only fiat is valid for daily transaction.

For me personally bank and crypto are different things so if bank attack bitcoin , It's kinda weird but as we know that G-20 still not take any action on crypto yet until further notice

That's what the hardest part when your country is like that ignoring bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, they prohibited on this because they know that someday it is their big competent in all investors instead using bank they use crypto's the what will happen in the country if that happens. But hopefully, there's a law regarding with this in every country that embraces bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as well.

Luckily here our country was friendly on bitcoin, besides the Central Banks here recognized that bitcoin is a part of currency that may be having a transaction and they warned people to be careful on possibilities that having Ponzi scheme.

Banks don't like bitcoin because it is a threat to their business. They are seeing it as competition to their business because the more people who would use cryptocurrency and transfer their wealth to it, the lesser customer the banks would have which would mean less profit. Even if there are no applicable rules to cryptocurrency, some banks already restrict some account holders to discouraged others to be involved with it.

In my opinion banks actually do love cryptocurrencies. But I believe, they are already working on their own ones, which they can completely control. Now with new products also based on bitcoin futures as an example they already started to earn also money on cryptos.

Banks are attacking and while they continue to attack bitcoin because he and other crypto-currencies take away their clients, and with them their profits. Therefore, banks are trying by any means to compromise the crypto currency in order for less people to switch to its use. They use the organization of direct libelous articles and videos in social networks, as it was recently with one of the banks of Poland, and before sending out apparently innocent letters warning of possible risks when investing in the crypto currency. Credulous citizens and this is enough to no longer be interested in further crypto currency. This will continue until the states recognize the crypto currency and continue such attacks will be meaningless. Then the banks will have to rebuild and begin to adapt to it and extract their profits from its circulation.

It should be recognized that banks are now really attacking the crypto currency, and above all bitcoin because of the fact that the crypto currency is a very good and dangerous competitor for them, which is able to take their work from banks and, most importantly, their profits. Therefore, banks are still trying by any means to compromise the crypto currency and form a negative attitude towards citizens. This will continue until the crypto currency is legalized and will not be regulated by the states. However, the crypto currency and banks will always remain competitors.

We need to understand, if bitcoin raises and completely capture all the transaction medium means then banking will be collapsed and will face the financial crisis in the many places. More over corporates and shit politicians will not be able to survive bitcoin in the market due to banking ends up.

The advantage with Bitcoin and other forms of crypto-currency is that you can store them without any help from the banks. So if a large number of people start using BTC to store their wealth, then the banks may witness a decline in their annual profits and revenue. So it is not surprising that the banks are attacking Bitcoin.

I think one of the causes is because most banks have difficulties to regulate the existence of bitcoin considering all its characteristics quite contrary to the applied systems. But this will be another story, if indeed the banks can really deepen the technology associated with bitcoin and all its characteristics, maybe it can avoid any risks or impacts that affect the financial system.

The main reason (why banks don't like btc and other cryptos) is the loss of profits.
Transactions made via blockchain kills transactions made via banks.

But the topic is essential! It should be upped!
Absolutely right. In addition to this statement, Banks are threatened that they might lose their huge investors, withdraw their saving and invest it in bitcoin. To think that bitcoin can give more profits than bank who only offers ablittle bit of interest from our savings. While in bitcoin, our smll small will definitely make a fortune in a long term investment and to think that it is decentralised. So why would investors still stick to bank, right?

That the government is not attacking bitcoin? They also do not want to lose the financial leverage on all citizens. Big capital is also against bitcoin. They're losing money on our money. I'm sorry people don't understand that.

Bitcoin, the “people’s currency,” has the potential to become a new currency, free of the control of big governments and big banks.

That’s why they both want to limit this potential. Each one in their own way. Big governments by stepping up regulations of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and by shutting down cryptocurrency exchanges, as the Chinese government has announced recently, crushing cryptocurrencies.

To be fair, bankers aren’t the only ones that have raised their level of skepticism about the rapid ascend of Bitcoin and other digital currencies. But to call the digital currency a fraud and a tulip is more than skepticism, in my opinion. It undermines the potential of Bitcoin to become a “peoples’ currency,” and replace national currencies.

The main reason behind this is if bitcoin enters it will dominate the fiat. Many people now using bitcoin as their main asset if it continues no one needs bank for investment. Because the profit is more when compare to ban interest. So they never allow bitcoin to enter the country. If government allows bitcoin people use only bitcoin they never use local fiat.

Right. The main reason behind banks attacking or interfering crypto currencies' growth is fear of dominance. As crypto has been ruling the currency market, fiat's growth is drawn to the ground. Investors started pitching into crypto currencies than fiats. This moment brings down every move taken from local currencies. Banks can gain more when fiats so capture the market.  It's failing now. This is the reason,  banks personalities manipulate government authorities to ban crypto currencies especially bitcoin now.

Actually, many banks are aspiring to break Bitcoin and of course, there is a big support from their governments. As well, it is very unfortunate that they are always attacking this currency, but the only reason is the financial losses and the widespread economic crisis in many countries and due to there is a decrease in the value of their currencies (FIAT).
As a matter of fact, the digital currencies and especially "Bitcoin" have become more successful than before, and these currencies are always criticized from many governments (Banks) because  they are not beneficiaries of financial transactions and there has been an increase in the number of  cryptocurrencies users.
In fact,  I think that the continuation of Bitcoin development and other currencies  will lead to recognition from all governments.

Bitcoin is not the greatest threat to their progress,But people nowadays prefer to make bitcoin transactions,because its more practically and comfortable,therefore very secure...When I say its secure,I mean that you don't need to share your personal or another identificial information with another intermediary,So you don't need to have trust,Everything is recorded by an collection of untrusted nodes and they keep track of blocks,What does it mean?

I have received an email alert stating that RBI has announced all the entities linked with RBI should not deal with crypto currencies or virtual currencies. Though there might be a competitive attitude behind it, I have other thought why they announced this. We did have a wallet like Paytm from jio. We do have talks on son of JIO owner is in progress of launching his own crypto coin in adapting blockchain into their business. They might wish to have cryptos exchanged to jiocoin (crypto found by Jio) and exchange that to Indian rupees. This would enlarge their market right?

But for me not all banks are against Bitcoin existence like here in our country in which our Central bank is fully supported the existence of Bitcoin currency and our major banks are in partnership with our local exchange (coins.ph), that we could use fully all of their cash out facilities such as ATM and over the counter transactions. These are all in spite of Bitcoin is not legal nor ban here in our country therefore i could say not all banks are really against Bitcoin currency existence.

there may be a bad side of bitcoin or cryptocurrency that is mostly regarded as a threat to the banks and the economy. That bitcoin can cause inflation. That is evidenced by the profit generated from bitcoin is very high, although the fluctuation rate is also very high. If there is inflation, it will greatly affect the economic conditions and can trigger a crisis.

Of course, people love bitcoin because it offers a revolutionary financial transaction system which is more convenient than what the banks offer. Bitcoin offers users the full control over their own financing and this part scares the banks as they no more hold in custody such powers to control and debit some amounts for their own benefits. In no time, Blockchain technology and bitcoin will see a global patronage with more other impressive features added.

It is all our hope that country world over will accept or adopt Bitcoin as as the means of exchange for goods and services. Banks see Bitcoin and crypto currency in general as an alternative to the services they render and that Bitcoin and other altcoins are accepted by their government they may loose the position they are currently occupying in the financial sector.

And that matter some banks attacking bitcoin because they think that bitcoin is their big competitor near in the future.
If this bitcoin will expand more population the banks will lesson investors because people want to invest in the easiest way and they have a right to hold their money. In this aspect banks now in some countries are taking actions regarding cryptocurrencies trying to manipulate bitcoin and we hope that someday banks and crypto are one.

It is necessary to get used to the fact that the banks are not unfriendly, but even with a certain hostility they refer to the crypto currency. And this is absolutely logical. The Crypto-currency takes away from the banks their clients, and together with them also takes away the profit. Therefore, often banks act as customers in spreading false negative information about the crypto currency in social networks and mass media so that less people pay attention to the crypto currency and take a great interest in it in order to conduct financial calculations.

Day by day we are getting news like , this country reject bitcoin that country accept Bitcoin. Technically it stands a contrast perspective with the Central Bank and the economy of the country. But as I love BITCOIN , I pray Every single country will accept BITCOIN one day.

No Liabilities or debt with BITCOIN:

Bitcoin is a conveyor machine, meaning that there are no liabilities or debts associated with it. You can't get loan from it , or you can't get profit through interest.  If you hold it, it’s yours. And as such, there can be no run on a “bitcoin bank.” It's Independent.

Bitcoin is considered as Fiat Currency :
Of course you can assume,  holding bitcoin superior in many ways to holding fiat currency in a deposit account. Here Fiat currency are those which can not be backed by commodities . It has all the benefits without the risk of capital controls. Because of this, the growth of bitcoin is sucking value out of national currencies. The higher capital will rise the higher value it will get.

The Capital is really HUGE
I think there is now more than $70B worth of bitcoin sitting in bitcoin wallets.One thing to consider here , the asset is not under any management. So we can call it AUP (Asset Under Management ) , but we can call it Assets Under Protection (AUP). And here is where the risk to traditional banking resides. What does a world look like when a simple bitcoin wallet is indirectly protecting as much money as big giant companies , organizations like  Bank of America or Fargo etc.

Wallet Becomes Bank
At that point that wallet becomes a bank, Haha , a newer form of bank with decentralized function, with different rules, operations, and monetization policy.

The Last Reason-  PEOPLES LOVE BITCOIN
The real reason that banks should worry about People loves BITCOIN. People always love easy process, better stability and full control. All things are available in this case. Bitcoin actually threatens the bedrock policy  and business model of Banks. That's why Banks are attacking Bitcoin.

I am trying to write good article and trying to research more to build good article. Really dreaming to get first MERIT. Thanks you guys. (Forgive me for any mistake) :D :D :D

Good read mate. However, I think that instead of "attacking", I think that banks are just protecting or safeguarding their assets from something that can potentially be market-altering. The cryptocurrency market is a new market so-to-speak, and at the moment it is showing so many negative things that might scare away any probable investor, and since it involves business and money, which in turn, where banks get their bread and butter. They are just trying to protect themselves from the backlash if this market rises. However, I think, in the future, they would also delve into this market because it's a legit market nonetheless.

Bitcoin is the storage of virtual currency. It is decentralized not own by government. Not bounded by rules that implemented by the government. While bank is the storage of fiat and opposite to bitcoin.
It goes normal that banks will against btc for it is all about money matter.
While there is money banks will go for it to have some benefits. Especially bitcoin is not just a single penny to collect but it could be a huge amount to claim.

It is quite understandable that banks will lose profits. Banks are extremely profitable from the collection of fees. Bitcoin uses faster technology so the fees are much cheaper than banks

The main reason behind this is once bitcoin accepted by the country it will dominate the local fiat. There is no value for local currency. People only use the bitcoin not local currency. Because the value of bitcoin is more than that of fiat. And another thing is tax problem still there is no tax for bitcoin. So it will affect the country's economy. That's why banks are not allow bitcoin.

Cause bitcoin steals their money. Metaphorically, of course, but it is true

Banks are attacking bitcoin due to afraid of bitcoin growth. Day by day bitcoin users are increasing all over the world. If bank accepts bitcoin it will affect the economy's growth of the country.  Bitcoin will dominate loacl fiat and people use only bitcoin for their transaction. It would leads banks a grear loss. Banks profits are reduced and tax problem will occur. Due to this reason banks are not accepting bitcoin.

it would be great if something is not the purpose of creating bitcoin to be a real thing. Bitcoin will dominate the local currency? While bitcoin is only a protocol aimed at changing the way people transact between people, between cities and even between countries without any difference in cost. It is not easy to change the means of payment in a country, it will have an impact on the local and global economy.

Bitcoin, the “ people's currency,” has the potential to become a new currency, free of the control of big governments and big banks. Banks don't like bitcoin because it is a threat to their business. They are seeing it as competition to their business because the more people who would used it the more their business go down.
But for now, banks are getting stable and it seems that they are making a consideration to having a cryptocurrency, they know that no matter what negative news they will gonna spread, no matter how much they will tell people that it is risky they will never stop people to have it.

Bitcoins can compete to banks, eventually, banks have their own interest rates, but the interest of it is so small. Instead investing to banks, invest your money to bitcoin, and see what will be your future

Crypto currency for banks is a strong and worthy opponent in the field of financial relations. Banks have always enjoyed the support of the state, since they are practically an integral part of it. Therefore, until now, real banks have not had any real competitors. Crypto currency is a strong competitor for banks, and due to the fact that it is decentralized, banks can not pressure the crypto currency by an administrative method, as they used to do earlier. Considering that many people stopped using the services of banks and the same operations began to be carried out independently in the crypto currency without the participation of banks, banks began to lose their profits. Banks have nothing to do either to compromise the crypto currency or by warning that it is a very risky investment of funds, or to organize the appearance of false negative information about the crypto currency in the media, as it was recently observed with one of the banks in Poland.

because bitcoin began to threaten the banking system, because bitcoin has contributed greatly to the global technology world.

Bitcoin is growing rapidly and can soon stand with financial assets like gold, and this can not be ignored.

additionally,Governments regulate traditional banks in various ways,For example minimum reserve requirements or money management methods that banks can use, and what about exchanges, bitcoin exchanges(or holders/consumers) are not regulated as banks or another financial sectors are,so when we hold bitcoin its more comfortable,why? because of,for example 'proof of reserve'.despite the facts,there are another moments,that I have already mentioned in my previous post,In particular,Now banks are starting to use cryptocurrencies and especially bitcoin for their business purposes,They know how profitable it is,therefore they are creating their own exchanges and crypto wallets on consumers account,Which I think is not as 'cool as it seems.

I'm sure banks are now trying to play catch up as well - it's pretty clear now that people are finding many banking fees just completely unreasonable.

The tipping point will probably come once banks figure out how to significantly profit without relying on the fees. Only then will they relent to the processing superiority of blockchain tech for banking.


The main reason behind banks attack bitcoin is local currencies loosing the currency market. All other reasons mentioned in OP would be part of it. Loosing the market is loosing the value. When the value is lost, the local currency will soon disappear. The banks and the authorities do not want this happen. This is the reason countries do ban bitcoin and crypto exchanges. This deny may keep their currency value at least stable instead of loosing much. I am sure this fight is going to be in place until crypto exist.

Banks are now attacking bitcoin and generally crypto currency, because the crypto currency is a very serious competitor of banks. People have already had time to appreciate the advantages of the crypto currency and are increasingly turning to its use without resorting to banks. From this, banks suffer losses, they simply reduce their profits. Therefore, they are trying to defame the crypto currency so that as few people as possible turn to crypto currency. They send letters with a warning that investing in bitcoin contains a lot of risk, or they just pay for the emergence of various negative news about the crypto currency, sometimes even fictional, in the media or social networks. Banks will stop doing this when the states legalize the crypto currency, then the banks will have to adapt to the new situation and cooperate with the crypto currency.

But banks aren't directly attacking crypto.

Sure, there is tension as crypto is a threat to bankings' main source of revenue. And there are public cases like Jamie Dimon of JP Morgran talking trash. But behind the scenes, all banks have been making moves into crypto - in trading or in technology.

It's clear that crypto is more than just a flash in the pan trend. And banks are filled with smart and opportunistic people. They definitely don' see this as a bank vs. crypto situation. You'll slowly start seeing centralization and institutionalizing creep into crypto for sure.

The main profit of banks is huge fees, including fees for transfers.
It's one of their service when there are remittances that comes from offshore.

Not only it takes a lot of time before receiving the money but you'll also need to pay them with the service that you use although you have an account to them.

Creating your bitcoin wallet = free.

Creating your bank account = with fee.

Transferring bitcoin = free

Transferring money with bank = with fee.

The disagreement between the banks and bitcoin is due to the mode of operation of these two parties. Banks operate on a centralized mode whereas Bitcoin operates on a decentralized mode. The banks uses this centralization to own control of the financing of the people. The choose the percentage interest with which they claim after you take loan or do any transaction with them. They hold the power to pause or stop a transaction. Bitcoin does the otherwise, thereby taking the power back to the people.
The banks see this disruptive and attacks Bitcoin.

We all know that the life of bank is the investors that stores their money to it and the bank are using it to gain profit not for the owner of the money but for themselve and if you get reward from your money it seems like a waste of time because of low in return. While btc is offering the investors with no limit possible earning although it is too risky and for the investors who love to take the risk is always after Goethe profit and would love to choose to invest in btc than in a bank.

If we should tell ourselves the truth Banks are suppose to attack Bitcoin reason because they use our money for their personal business and they give us little or no interest at the end of the month; when you deposit money in the bank you only receive alert that a certain amount has been deposited in your account but u don't see the money, sometimes when u go to the bank to collect that same money they tell you that there is no money in the bank WHO IS WITH YOUR MONEY SINCE IT'S NOT IN THE BANK. Now Bitcoin is depriving them that privilege they have to use our money, Bitcoin will also render them jobless in no time, so they need to fight or attack Bitcoin.

There is no other reason than the business. As crypto has almost conquered the crypto market and the local currencies are loosing its market, it has become a competitive move from each other and as banks rely on local currencies, they do block bitcoin and other cypto currencies from enlarging its value and other scales in the market. As every government is depend on the banks, government do hear to banks sayings. Though such issues continues, crypto keeps  developing itself in every nature and getting into the market adapting current gen.

Bitcoin captures the imagination of many people because bitcoin holds the promise to democratize finances. Bitcoin can operate entirely independently without government, regulatory or bank support, but it is still trusted by many people.

In other words, bitcoin is present to overcome the financial monopoly done by the bank. therefore, banks consider bitcoin as a system that can threaten the existence of the banking system.
They won't care with bitcoin or bother to attach with it if they don't felt threatened by it, and we all aware that a lot of people are hooked in bitcoin or in crypto and they are investing their money in it rather than in stock market as we are seeing good profit in cryptos rather than in stock where high investment but less returns.

I guess you were going to say banks are not happy because their customers are becoming fewer and the deposits have shrunken compared to what was obtainable prior to the emergence of Bitcoin and knowing that banks make their money off of depositors monies and commissions, that goes to translate to fewer transactions and less profits for the banks.

There are too many banks which have already started to use cryptocurrencies to achieve their business goals..As I said, in my country they have created crypto wallets and  get very well income from this,Which I think is break of the law.The fact that they are trying to integrate this processes means that they are afraid of it and trying to do more crypto related businesses and projects to attract more and more people.Despite the fact there are too many banks also which don't think that bitcoin will be successful for their  future,For example let's get binance and deutsch bank,binance's income is much more than the bank's.

So now they see what happen in the last months, and now they see bitcoin is a real danger for fiat money. And the biggest problems is, that they can not controll cryptocurrencies.

The main profit of banks is huge fees, including fees for transfers. In the blockchain system, these commissions are minimized. On the other hand, bitcoin is an excellent investment opportunity and banks also see it as a threat to their products, such as deposits.
Exactly as my point, the banks receive huge amount of interests on loans taken from them. The always stand in the middle position interfering with transactions between entities involved. The Blockchain serves as a disruption to this old fashioned trend and offers owner control without any third party involvement. This power which is taken from the banks and given back to the people is what scares the banks.

I don't think banks will lose competitiveness with bitcoin? let alone we still use fiat as the main currency right? of course banks will be needed. but what does the bank see is from the threat? yeah bitcoin threats are hard for centralized financial systems like banks? although today people prefer banks. but the likelihood that people will prefer decentralization will remains there

Banks have different approach when it comes to cryptocurrencies but most of them doesn't like bitcoin as they were kept saying that bitcoin is somewhat a ponzi scheme and can manipulate the price by those big waves, but some country/central banks sees this as an opportunity to lessen the transactions in bank each day.

I agree with you that banks have different stand against Bitcoin existence in which not all Central banks are against Bitcoin like here in our country that our major banks are in partnership with our local exchanges in which if we convert our Bitcoin to fiat we can use the banks withdrawal facilities so that we could take our cash out. So i think the main reason of why some banks are against Bitcoin existence because their profit will going to reduce in which a selfish act.

Its just a complete business competition between crypto currencies and local fiats. As banks want fiats values to be up banks do forbid crypto currency to enter into any country. Thus banks approach the concern authority of the respected country to ban or avoid using crypto currency in the country. There are en number of benefits gained out of crypto currency then local currencies. Hence investors turn towards crypto rather than local fiats in the currency market. These are few reasons for banks banning using bitcoin via authorities.

Base on my own perception, the banks are competitive enough which I think they are aware on these crypto currencies here in cyberworld as I observed most of banks accept crypto currencies which I try to withdraw my share of bitcoin to fiat as it have bemn automatically converted which including transaction fee. Thus, banks still.survived as they must support the crypto currency throughout the cyberworld.

The bank was founded on interest. Bitcoin is a system without interest. If the transaction is done, then the bank gets a small amount of money. If you keep a deposit in the bank, they make a profit on the tax, VAT, Fee. Because the bitcoin is deprived of it, the bank has always been bite.

Bitcoin and the banks are like the opponent teams in a match with each eager to win at the end of the day. Both operate on a different principle which opposes or disrupts the other. With Bitcoin, the people get to be the master of their own finances without any authoritative third party to control and decide when to transact and how to do it. With this, the power is giving back to the people and the banks see this as a major disruptive move to their operations.

Because banks are afraid of cryptocurrencies growth, if crypto enters it will dominate the local fiats. It's just a competition between banks and crypto. Crypto value is more when compared to local fiats. People using only crypto they forget to use local fiats. Investors are turned to invest only on crypto not on banks. There is no tax problem for bitcoin this is also the main reason banks not accepting bitcoin. No one deposit the amount in the bank, people stored their bitcoins in their wallets and used it once the value reached high they sell their coins and earn more profits.

Because banks are afraid to defeat them, they are afraid to spread this to worldwide because they're know that people might choose it to use than them yet it has no tax problem.
At some point I understand their situation of course it would be hard for them to see how economic grows if we will have lack of cash circulating in the market, our government will find it hard as well to see if our economy is growing and if there is fluctuation/inflation happening.

Bitcoin is the competitor to local fiats. When you invest in banks the interest should be low and you have to wait for long time to see the profit. But that profit is also not high, but if you invest in bitcoin you could see the profit in short term itself. The profit is also very high when compared to lacal fiat's banks interest. Another main reason is tax problem for bitcoin money we no need to pay tax this is not applicable  in banks transaction. People use bitcoin only for their transactions when it is accepted by banks. The local currency has no value and it will disappear in future.

Indeed, all ideas were in exact phase of how banks really been intimidated with cryptocurrency bitcoin or so called digital currency. In general understanding the banks was threatened by bitcoin's economy, so they're trying to pull down the reputation of bitcoin because of those reasons behind their frustrations to get more investors who diverted their funds to bitcoin investments. Now as a bitcoiner who has huge amount of investments, would you believe that they're responsible for the spreading FUD and fake news? Well, then the possibility is certain due to rivalry between fiat economy and cryptocurrency.

I'm very curious as to why people here think banks hate crypto?

If anything, it's more clear that they're interested in and trying to find a place in this space today (there definitely will be a place as they have so many resources and as regulation grows they'll have more lobbying power to change things in their favors).

I'm not in support of banks, for sure there are some bad practices that need to be changed which blockchain and crypto bring. However, there's definitely a feeling on the boards here that banks want to kill crypto. And it's clear that that's simply not true (Goldman opening up a crypto desk, JP Morgan setting up an entire blockchain division, financial services firms like the Big 4 all opening ICO practices, etc.).

The road is being setup to institutionalize crypto. Accordingly, it's more that the banks will try to own as much crypto as possible (as long as it's worth something)!

Bitcoin captures the imagination of many people because bitcoin holds the promise to democratize finances. Bitcoin can operate entirely independently without government, regulatory or bank support, but it is still trusted by many people.

In other words, bitcoin is present to overcome the financial monopoly done by the bank. therefore, banks consider bitcoin as a system that can threaten the existence of the banking system.

I mean the only thing with significance I have seen lately is some banks have banned cryptocurrency purchases on their customer's credit card, and for me that is understandable. Their customers buying a risky asset on a credit will mean bad business for them. So I totally understand why they want to be on the safe side of business, even that kind of move made by a bank does not show a direct attack to Bitcoin.

Finally, another reasonable response!  :D

Again, this isn't a support of big banks - they obviously have had and engage in questionable practices that aren't in the best interest of consumers. I think it's just better that we all take honest appraisals of the situations.

YES banks forbid purchase of cryptocurrency on their proceeds of credit. But there is a real situation when at the person of the bankrupt arrest accounts, apartments, cars and cryptocurrency.

I wouldn't say all banks hate it. Some banks like it a lot.
But I think the main reason why most banks don't like Bitcoin much is that they can't make money of it because of legal or technical reasons.


The main reason is loss the profits. people not use the bank transactions. Bank will be go down and bank not get profit. Bank is affect the all country people saving and future growth. So people wait for the new transaction process. Bitcoin is good transaction process. So it change the people life and people get more profit. It change the life style. Bitcoin is never affect the people growth and saving. But banking process is not give the rule and regulating for the banking process. But bitcoin will be give all information and it easy way to use. It easy to transaction but banking will be get the transaction charges from the banking account. But bitcoin will not get charges for any transaction. It good future growth. So hold the bitcoin.

Day by day we are getting news like , this country reject bitcoin that country accept Bitcoin. Technically it stands a contrast perspective with the Central Bank and the economy of the country. But as I love BITCOIN , I pray Every single country will accept BITCOIN one day.

No Liabilities or debt with BITCOIN:

Bitcoin is a conveyor machine, meaning that there are no liabilities or debts associated with it. You can't get loan from it , or you can't get profit through interest.  If you hold it, it’s yours. And as such, there can be no run on a “bitcoin bank.” It's Independent.

Bitcoin is considered as Fiat Currency :
Of course you can assume,  holding bitcoin superior in many ways to holding fiat currency in a deposit account. Here Fiat currency are those which can not be backed by commodities . It has all the benefits without the risk of capital controls. Because of this, the growth of bitcoin is sucking value out of national currencies. The higher capital will rise the higher value it will get.

The Capital is really HUGE
I think there is now more than $70B worth of bitcoin sitting in bitcoin wallets.One thing to consider here , the asset is not under any management. So we can call it AUP (Asset Under Management ) , but we can call it Assets Under Protection (AUP). And here is where the risk to traditional banking resides. What does a world look like when a simple bitcoin wallet is indirectly protecting as much money as big giant companies , organizations like  Bank of America or Fargo etc.

Wallet Becomes Bank
At that point that wallet becomes a bank, Haha , a newer form of bank with decentralized function, with different rules, operations, and monetization policy.

The Last Reason-  PEOPLES LOVE BITCOIN
The real reason that banks should worry about People loves BITCOIN. People always love easy process, better stability and full control. All things are available in this case. Bitcoin actually threatens the bedrock policy  and business model of Banks. That's why Banks are attacking Bitcoin.

I am trying to write good article and trying to research more to build good article. Really dreaming to get first MERIT. Thanks you guys. (Forgive me for any mistake) :D :D :D

All the listed reasons are enough for the banks to be alarmed about bitcoin because it is absolutely true. Can we imagine how scared they are that one day they will wake up without investors left? Ofcourse will choose to have their savings in their own wallet and not being controlled by anyone else but itself only. Keeping our investment on our own and just waiting for the huge profits to come compared to the banks that only gives a little bit of interest whatever how big amount we deposited from them.

It's a business marketing. As fiat being the competitor of crypto currencies, it aims to conquer the currency market. Fiat has loosen it's value  compared to crypto currencies especially to bitcoin. As banks are being the backbone of a country, the authority makes rules forbidding bitcoin into its country.

I guess you were meaning to say that the commercial banks par se are really not the ones afraid and attacking Bitcoin, because they're after all business ventures very much interested in ways to maximize profit. Their hands however are tied by their masters - authorities, who are might be tempted to clamp on their license for none compliance. That makes the authorities, as represented by central banks, the banks attacking Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is wonderful one. No one can replace the bitcoin price. Now bitcoin is reach the all country. So bitcoin is help to people growth. Bitcoin is support the people life growth. Bitcoin help to people future saving people any time to use and any where to use. No rules and regulation.
 But bank not for people growth. It affect the people future saving. Now most of the people wait for the bitcoin. If accept the country legal way. Most of the people use the bitcoin. Bank will go down. Bank is not give the more information of the banking rules and regulation. Bitcoin is give more information.  Now bank is fear.  So attacking Bitcoin

Bitcoin, the “ people's currency,” has the potential to become a new currency, free of the control of big governments and big banks. Banks don't like bitcoin because it is a threat to their business. They are seeing it as competition to their business because the more people who would used it the more their business go down.
But for now, banks are getting stable and it seems that they are making a consideration to having a cryptocurrency, they know that no matter what negative news they will gonna spread, no matter how much they will tell people that it is risky they will never stop people to have it.
Cryptocurrency will win at the end of the day irrespective of the tainted images of Bitcoin coming from the banks. It's high time the Banks started working with cryptocurrencies like the Bitcoin to widen their scope of services they provide for the people. Cryptocurrency cannot be stopped by the banks nor the government but by the people and here is the case, cryptocurrency works perfectly in favour of the people due to its decentralized nature.

Surely this will greatly affect the development of banks getting worse. But I hope that one day the bank can fully accept Bitcoin. Then between banks and crypto can work together.

Bitcoin-friendly banks can be found mostly in many wealthy nations like Japan and Germany. Many banks in Third world countries are against the use of cryptocurrencies or their central bank did not approve it. One reason why some banks did not accept funds from bitcoin because it might come from illegal source like scams and money laundering.

The main reason that banks are  always attacking Bitcoin or digital currencies is the financial losses and the decrease of Fiat value. Furthermore, They are afraid of the continued existence of  Bitcoin at the summit of the digital currencies, so they invested a huge value in other currencies in order to  affect negatively the  value of Bitcoin.

Yes you are right mate. But one main reason why banks are attacking bitcoin is because bitcoin is decentralised and controlled by the holders itself. So, good investors may have a change of hearts, withdraw their savings in the banks and invest it in bitcoin. If that will happen then for sure that it will cause bank bankruptcy therefore banks are threatened of the existence of bitcoin.

Because banks are afraid that when bitcoin enters it will.dominate the local fiat. Automatically the value of local fiat decreases. Bitcoin can be controlled by its users only. But in local fiat it is controlled by the government only. For bitcoin there is no tax problem so it cannot be controlled by the government. People are not ready to use local fiat and they invest only on bitcón. Because bitcoin gives more profit than local fiat.

I also really like Bitcoin and I always pray the best for the development of Bitcoin in the future. I am sure that one day all the countries of the world will legalize Bitcoin and accept Bitcoin completely. Yes, it seems very unlikely but I believe in any crypto can happen. Banks attacked Bitcoin because the bank feels a big loss since the presence of Bitcoin.

For some reason I think Bitcoin is a little bit more than payment tech.
I guess it is really a device for major structural change in how governments and countries are operating now. Therefore if governments want to stay almost the same without starting a large scale opposition to Bitcoin, then they need to adapt and do it ASAP.

Their funds are reduced because of cryptocurrency that's why they treat it as a competitor. They see that some people are getting interested into it that's why when they track that someone is earning from cryptocurrency or simply depositing to some exchange, they would suspend the account of that person. Sooner or later, when more people started to adapt cryptocurrency, it would just come back to them because people would opt to keep their own money so they would continue to lose more customers and maybe even go bankrupt if they will continue what they are doing.

That’s why they both want to limit this potential. Each one in their own way. Big governments by stepping up regulations of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and by shutting down cryptocurrency exchanges, as the Chinese government has announced recently, crushing cryptocurrencies.

The main reason behind banks attack bitcoin is business and competition between local fiats and crypto currencies. Bitcoin has shown its massive growth by capturing the currency market. Thus the value of fiats have come down. So banks are in lose, so the only things banks can do is, approach the government to ban bitcoin or any other crypto currencies. This competition will continue as long fiats and crypto currencies exit.

I agree. Banks and governments hold the same position and that's to oppose cryptocurrency exchanges because these are steering their monopoly and control of people away from them so they'd so anything they can to stop that sleeping from them.

However, I wouldn't necessary say that they're trying to completely destroy Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, more like they are trying to integrate with the technology, so it never becomes an US or THEM scenario, but more like a WE scenario where banks benefit from the advances of blockchain tech, without necessarily needing to compete head to head.

A lot of banks are starting to look at the benefits of hyper ledger in their platform, so I think it's just a matter of time before one takes a big leap.

It is not profitable for large banks that cash flows go past them.  They want to make a profit on everything.

Banks were able to get money from people and use it to their advantage but having cryptocurrencies as additional competitor now is a pain for them. Many people are shifting their attention from saving their money in banks to investing in cryptocurrencies that's why some of them wanted to destroy the reputation of bitcoin so that others would be discouraged to invest on it but the more they discouraged it, the more people would like to invest in crypto because they can see the flaw of banks.

But then there are other cryptocurrencies coming out almost every day and crypto works differently which is why anyone can bank their wealth on a wallet they own which makes them irrelevant in a way. Crypto has the higher chance of winning against them than the petro dollar of the middle east that is why they are attacking.

Banks do not like the decentralized crypto currency. This is due to the fact that many people switch to using crypto currency and therefore no longer go to banks or are treated much less. Therefore, banks because of the crypto currency lose their potential customers, and with them their profits. Therefore, bankers are very unhappy with the appearance of the crypto currency and at every opportunity try to show the riskiness of investments in crypto currency and recommend not to use it in their activities. This will happen until states legalize the crypto currency and determine its status and conditions for circulation. After this, banks will be forced to cooperate with it.

Bitcoin and other crypto currency are strong competitors of banks, because many people stop using banking services and switch to using crypto currency. From this, bankers lose customers and their profits. Therefore, they try to blacken the crypto currency and turn people away from using it. However, this will happen as long as the state does not legalize the crypto currency. After that, they will be forced to cooperate with the crypto currency and provide various services with its use.

You are explaining something which is entirely contradicting on your statement. They do hate bitcoin because its just all the same when we do talk about crypto since bitcoin is the only coin in the market that do able to create such payment system which is basically affecting bank sectors in regards with payment system.

Especially a lot of negative information regarding the crypto currency banks will be issued before the legalization of the crypto currency by the states. After the legalization of the special meaning, this will not be done, since it will already be under the protection of the state.

Some of your arguments of why the banks are attacking Bitcoin are true but not all the banks are against the Bitcoin existence specially in the countries that Bitcoin is declared legal. In fact here in my country that even do Bitcoin is not legal but not ban, many banks are already in partnership with our local exchanges in which we could use their withdrawal facilities from Bitcoin earnings. So i guess this attacking issue will be limited only to those countries that are against Bitcoin existence.

The main reason (why banks don't like btc and other cryptos) is the loss of profits.
Transactions made via blockchain kills transactions made via banks.

But the topic is essential! It should be upped!
of course banks do not like bitcoin and even attack bitcoin, banks around the world can go bankrupt in total if bitcoin currencies dominate the world, we see many conveniences offered by cryptocurrency, the process is not complicated there is no barrier between countries, and its secrecy is guaranteed and surely it can't be regulated or controlled by any country, that's what all banks in the world are worried about and of course the bank doesn't want to lose their money tree.

Bitcoin is a big threat for banks and so thus governments, its a tough competition for them if bitcoin is widely use and for now they do propaganda and negative issues that makes bitcoin as a negative thing, in that case they use media all over the world to brainwash the minds of people. Banks and other governments are preventing the spread of cryptocurrency worldwide.

Because of the currencies field we know that the crypto has not been long since the bank has used the currency. because now the crypto has entered the currency like coins btc, eth, dent, tron, some of which are in cryptocurrency so the basins will be empty. that they will beat the crypto. so there they are wishing that one day they will disappear in the currency field. so another bank makes the bitcoin a partnership. it's like that.

Recently, the growing confrontation between traditional financial institutions and crypto-economy has become increasingly evident. Thus, the world's largest banks glorify laudatory odes to the blockade and its opportunities for transforming the financial market, while severely criticizing bitcoin and other digital currencies for their "insecurity," "high-risk," volatility, "excessive anonymity," etc.

First I don't think there is a competition between bitcoin and banks, after all they can work together to accept bitcoin as a deposit
option and withdraw right? and I don't see any bank attacks on bitcoin or cryptocurrency in my country..

The modern financial system was formed over the centuries, developing new rules, laws and requirements, but with the advent of the crypto currency its stability and the degree of confidence on the part of consumers was somewhat shaken.

They also think that crypto which is very cheap way to transfer the money across globe within no time and if it is used than their banking swift or other facilities which are of higher fees are being charged will be closed down and thus their profits will get reduced.

Banks will always attack bitcoin and other crypto currency, especially in the period prior to its legalization, because the crypto currency for them is a direct competitor. People turn to using crypto currency and less turn to banks, bankers from this lose their profits.
However vseravno as a result, banks and decentralized crypto currency will be forced to coexist together and banks will have to accept this.

Its just a complete business competition between crypto currencies and local fiats. As banks want fiats values to be up banks do forbid crypto currency to enter into any country. Thus banks approach the concern authority of the respected country to ban or avoid using crypto currency in the country. There are en number of benefits gained out of crypto currency then local currencies. Hence investors turn towards crypto rather than local fiats in the currency market. These are few reasons for banks banning using bitcoin via authorities.
Bitcoin products do not have adequate consumer protection rules. For that reason, if there is a loss, the user cannot file a claim, besides that there is a high risk of price volatility because the value is determined on the expectation of future supply and demand, speculative. Bitcoin technology is also cross border or can be used across countries and continents. This digital currency is not tied to banks or government and allows its users to shop without revealing their identity.

Yeah absolutely bank will always wanted to manipulate the the market place in a certain countries special in block market, now that  there's a new technology that would threat their unscrupulous system in which their aim is to acquire wealth more, as much ad possible they will make everything to pin down bitcoin and the blockchain.

Especially central banks are getting affected by the rise of cryptocurrency in the world today because many people choosing saving in their bitcoin wallet rather on bank, they rather risk their money on bitcoin than saving on banks because it is more affordable and efficient.
The choice of people to switch to saving money in bitcoin is very reasonable because in bitcoin there are no additional fees at all, we cannot find anything like this in any bank, bitcoin users are not burdened by any country system, in conventional banks which usually take a long time if they want to transact between countries, what if the destination country still does not support the banking system, in bitcoin everything becomes very easy and everything is very safe, which might be a reason for people to switch to saving their money in the form of bitcoin.

because banks like the bitcoin do the currency, the only difference between them is their taxpayers' first cryptocurrency. because it has not been fully accepted by other countries.

I'm sure banks are now trying to play catch up as well - it's pretty clear now that people are finding many banking fees just completely unreasonable.

The tipping point will probably come once banks figure out how to significantly profit without relying on the fees. Only then will they relent to the processing superiority of blockchain tech for banking.
because if bitcoin has been used anywhere, the bank will no longer be needed, and the future will continue to run and bitcoin is increasingly popular, because bitcoin does not involve a third person to transact like a bank.
is it too much to call the bank attack bitcoin? because the proof is that many banks don't really care about bitcoin. and the interests
of both are different? and besides they can also walk alongside because bitcoin is not a place to save money like a bank?

Why are banks, governments attacking the bitcoin and the crypto currency market is the most debatable topic that we have today. All people have got their point of views and no side is reaady to accept the defeat. These countervailing arguments upheld by the opposing parties sometimes confuse me as to who is right and who is wrong. But all I know is bitcoin has helped me a lot to come out of my financial troubles and I really do feel it is one of the best inventions for the betterment of mankind. So I just now keep away from all these debates and focus on my holdings and diversifying my investment portfolio.

We agree it or not traditional banking systems are considered a middle man that would control the economic activities in their favor.  Their investor will  only  received small interest while  the big part of the pie will go to the bank, crypto currency has the big impact to the banking system because it is a P2P and never have  control over it.

Day by day we are getting news like , this country reject bitcoin that country accept Bitcoin. Technically it stands a contrast perspective with the Central Bank and the economy of the country. But as I love BITCOIN , I pray Every single country will accept BITCOIN one day.

No Liabilities or debt with BITCOIN:

Bitcoin is a conveyor machine, meaning that there are no liabilities or debts associated with it. You can't get loan from it , or you can't get profit through interest.  If you hold it, it’s yours. And as such, there can be no run on a “bitcoin bank.” It's Independent.

Bitcoin is considered as Fiat Currency :
Of course you can assume,  holding bitcoin superior in many ways to holding fiat currency in a deposit account. Here Fiat currency are those which can not be backed by commodities . It has all the benefits without the risk of capital controls. Because of this, the growth of bitcoin is sucking value out of national currencies. The higher capital will rise the higher value it will get.

The Capital is really HUGE
I think there is now more than $70B worth of bitcoin sitting in bitcoin wallets.One thing to consider here , the asset is not under any management. So we can call it AUP (Asset Under Management ) , but we can call it Assets Under Protection (AUP). And here is where the risk to traditional banking resides. What does a world look like when a simple bitcoin wallet is indirectly protecting as much money as big giant companies , organizations like  Bank of America or Fargo etc.

Wallet Becomes Bank
At that point that wallet becomes a bank, Haha , a newer form of bank with decentralized function, with different rules, operations, and monetization policy.

The Last Reason-  PEOPLES LOVE BITCOIN
The real reason that banks should worry about People loves BITCOIN. People always love easy process, better stability and full control. All things are available in this case. Bitcoin actually threatens the bedrock policy  and business model of Banks. That's why Banks are attacking Bitcoin.

I am trying to write good article and trying to research more to build good article. Really dreaming to get first MERIT. Thanks you guys. (Forgive me for any mistake) :D :D :D

Bitcoin offers an alternative to the conventional, state-sanctioned banking system.Capital controls are supposed to be a thing of the past,The basic idea behind Bitcoin is to use a combination of public-key cryptography and peer-to-peer networking to create a virtual analogy of gold.

Simplicity and accessibility are what bitcoin offered to people. people tend to love simple thing rather than a complicated system.

maybe one of the main reasons for the loss of world banking control over money movements and loss of bank income from bank services to business people, maybe this always makes banks want to stop bitcoin, but all efforts are futile because bitcoin is global and banks are local and tends to be individual ...

It's a confirmation that they feel/are threatened by digital currencies, ad they would undermine their authority and control over money. That's why crypto is called decentralised.
maybe the bank doesn't want to lose their source of income because business people will use bitcoin in each of their transactions, for example money transfers that usually pass the services of banks and banks will attract transfer fees, this can be lost because of the bitcoin transfer money is free of charge, the second factor is currency exchange services with bitcoin businesses do not need to exchange their money into international currencies, namely dollars to be transferred to destination countries and in the destination countries are exchanged again, things like this do not happen in bitcoin, and there are so many things that will kill the banking services business in the world ..

maybe Bitcoin can threaten the bank so the bank attacks it, but I don't think this is the case. with a lot of bad news, investors are afraid and eventually leave Bitcoin or because they invest in something else and currently don't return to Bitcoin because Bitcoin is declining.

right, banks don't want their money trees to be captured by bitcoin currencies, so they try to prevent bitcoin from developing, but the advances in technology that exist now cannot be dammed by anyone, so the steps that should be taken by the bank are merging and while working with bitcoin owners and perhaps also providing supporting facilities for bitcoin, this might be able to bring mutual benefits.

Lol no . bitcoin is not built to shut down the banks  . bitcoin is only invented because satoshi wants a new kind of payment system especially online  . and also bitcoin is already a digital currency that is now being use by many people  but why do you still see banks ?

Banks are financial institutions that have monopoli so far, so the presence of bitcoin seems to interfere with the power that has been enjoyed, because bitcoin in its use does not involve banks.
The government as the financial authority through the central bank continues to press bitcoin by all means so that in the future the use of bitcoin will involve banks. If not, bitcoin will face many problems where the role of the government can turn off bitcoin, or declare bitcoin illegal.

In principle, bitcoin is considered a serious competitor in the financial services business, thus endangering banks, because the bank in carrying out its operations relies on commission services from transactions carried out.
Using bitcoin as if it has a private bank, all transactions can be done from anywhere and anytime at a cheaper and faster cost.

That is something I have never seen anyone state before, especially with the financial meltdowns that have happened where banks risked their depositors cash, lost people's mortgages, misfiled deeds, etc.
Maybe it's just an american outlook though, as most of the people i've met specifically got into bitcoin because they didn't trust the banks to handle their money anymore.

I think its a gross generalization to say they are against bitcoin. They are against risk, and for protecting customer's money. That is the principle they were created to endorse.

They are working on their own solutions utilizing blockchain. For instance, they are using blockchain to wipe out SWIFT (the ultimate middle man) and to even create some of their own coins. Many of the biggest banks, including JP Morgan whose been the most critical publicly of exuberance and investment, has been working on Quorum, releasing a 2.0 version that is closely aligned with Ethereum. 

They are being protectionist, and to some degree maybe overdoing it to underscore their own value, but banks are definitely working closely with the technologies to make sure they are part of this ecosystem as it unfolds.

Nowadays, there is a trend among many of the governments to encourage the usage of credit cards and debit cards at the cost of physical cash. The banks stand to gain in a big way, as they charge around 2% from the merchants for accepting credit card payments. Now imagine what will happen if the users shift to payment methods such as BTC. Massive amounts will be lost and the banks will turn to loss making enterprises.

maybe a little different in one country, like your story that "" banks are against risk and to protect customers?

Using Debit cards and credit are being inspired by bank and it is inpired by the government instead of using cash. Their charge is high as you said and also they get yearly charge, card fee etc. And all those will be impossible to earn if crypto take its place and also many more reason that is why they are trying to attacking bitcoin.

Banks don't like bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies, especially private coins) for few reasons: no boards, no taxes, low fees, fast transactions, no limits. Banks just loses profits.

Nowadays, there is a trend among many of the governments to encourage the usage of credit cards and debit cards at the cost of physical cash. The banks stand to gain in a big way, as they charge around 2% from the merchants for accepting credit card payments. Now imagine what will happen if the users shift to payment methods such as BTC. Massive amounts will be lost and the banks will turn to loss making enterprises.

That's some of the benefits that will taken if crypto will maneuver this financial industry, banks holds most of the transaction process, even there's businesses such digital currency but most of them still needs banking system to be affiliated, unlike crypto where you can manage everything inside your wallets without any interventions with banks, reason why banks still not favor with this system at all.

Banks are getting paranoid, and I don't think that there is any need for that. Even now, the bankers are thinking that Bitcoin will be primarily used as a currency and in that case the credit cards and debit cards will lose their popularity. But that is not going to happen in the future. During the early days of Bitcoin, it was primarily being used as a currency. But once people began noticing that Bitcoin is an asset that is protected against inflation, its usage as currency diminished. Nowadays, it is mostly being used as an investment asset. So I would say that there is no need for the banks to get ballistic.
