I do not understand why people get exited about news like this? Banks are going to use "Blockchain based solutions", not Bitcoin.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to jump onto the Blockchain bandwagon lately and each of these so-called "Blockchain based solutions" will be some obscure attempt to create their own
private distributed ledger technology.
The technologies that they are developing has nothing to do with Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is a public Blockchain and these technologies goes against everything that Bitcoin stands for.
