But it doesn't matter, JPMC sucks and if they try to compete with bitcoin, they will fail.

Will society care and demand bitcoin?
If yes: uptrend. If no: continued downtrend.

So yea, only we bitcoin enthusiasts get hyped. No one else does.

I actually tend to think that only one cryptocurrency will really thrive, and all the others will be used by a few people and have little and volatile value.

So I don't really think that a major competitor would be a good thing for Bitcoin, it could work out well as people won't want some sh!tcoin from JPmorgan, but it is worrying that people would rather start their own currency than really get involved in the Bitcoin world.

Probably they are just protecting their brand from getting exploited similar like what some of those big corporations do to acquire something like companynamesucks.com. Anyway check using whois domaintools turned up nothing as it protected by privacy settings. It could even turn out be be some geeks looking to launch their new altcoins.

[ensurance982]

Well companies have always registered domains with their names in it. It's just their way of protecting their brand and prepare for potential ventures, no matter how unlikely they may seem at the moment. It's not as if it is super expensive.

this is not even a full-bodied rumour, let alone a news that could cause some impact on price. Not worth much attention, imo.

I'm not sure if the initial post was seriously considering this to be 'big news'. I mean, yeah, this is good and all, but nothing for the market to rally for, really...

[coinableS]

I'm surprised that most of your responses are "meh". I thought this was pretty big... Maybe the source is not credible? And based on the names they registered (if it's true) it doesn't look like they are making an alt coin. If they were trying to make a bitcoin killer they wouldn't register a name with the word "bitcoin" in it. Oh well, we'll see what happens I guess. 

[ChuckBuck]

Where is the actual news link?  I can't find anything.

The first link posted is actually negative or Anti-Bitcoin and by some garbage bootleg fake news website.

At least post a credible legit news source, not filler bs.  If it's not from Coindesk, Cointelegraph, CryptocurrencyNews, NewsBTC, Wsj, TechCrunch, CNBC, Forbes, IBTimes, etc then it's probably bullcrap.

[HarmonLi]

Wow, nice indeed! I mean, yeah... it's just usual business practice, sure, but the fact that they're registering this thing shows that they're talking about BTC on the upper floors. Pretty good!

[Bit_Happy]

It will be entertaining to see traditional banks try to compete with Bitcoin.
We should welcome the "competition."

Exactly what I was thinking. Without any proof linking these directly to them this could be anybody registering them and I'm inclined to believe it was someone else rather than the actual bank.

Interesting, didn't realize that... Now that I look at it again, I agree looks like BS.
