This is not a good news. First bitcoin is decentralized currency, now it's first bank will be opened in Switzerland. Government will gain control of bitcoin if there's bitcoin bank in a country. Second, bitcoin is anonymous. If we transfer and exchange at bank, we must write our name, our purpose and the others.

So you think anybody will force you to use a bank?

you're not that wrong, bitcoin can be anonymous, but it certainly isn't if you don't add anything, and just do your normal "send transaction/receiving transaction"

it's hilarious because banks, can not even force you, to use fiat(i might live, by swapping all day my old stuff with new ones, and continue this cycle endless, for example), let alone a decentralized thing like bitcoin

also some, can uses cash only, and thus evading the banks completely, there was a guy that was living only with that, his own ammission here on one forum

Yes it is not great news for the bitcoin community as people generally prefer use of bitcoin due to the privacy factor attached to it so if the privacy factor is removed from the bitcoin then people will hesitate in using it as they have to disclose their identity.

Xapo anyone? They charge a fee to hold your bitcoins in a vault.
Exchanges? They provide bank like services to get your fiat.

Why is this seen as such a negative? We already have plenty of third party services that do many different things. Just because this third party service has the word "bank" in it does not mean that all of the sudden Bitcoin is not somehow controlled by bankers.

What I can see a bank doing is providing things like direct deposit to your bank account with any currency being converted directly to bitcoins.
I see debit cards that you can spend anywhere and it automatically converts it to the currency you need from your bitcoin balance.

Other than that it will be like having your coins on any other web wallet.

First seastead company actually selling sea homes: Ocean Builders https://ocean.builders  Of course we accept bitcoin.

Lol..That is true nobody is  gonna force us to use bank for the sake of bitcoins I mean we really don't need a bank's involvement in the use of bitcoins we are using it and we will continue in the future without a bank.

Yes you cannot trust neither government nor the banking systems of the country so it is better that we keep our bitcoin safe even if there are bitcoin banks available in the country and I really wish to keep my identity safe.

Exactly You cannot afford to trust the banking system when it comes to bitcoin. It is better not to invest in banking and just get carried with the procedure that we are using it right now that we would stay away from government and banks.

If a bank holds your bitcoin, you have to submit identification. And they have control over your bitcoin with their wallets on their network.

The main reason for the existence of bitcoin totally goes against this.

You might as well get rid of your bitcoin and just use cash at this point.

it might be surely a way to regulate bitcoin in disguise, well why not? if that can help the bitcoin adoption, one should be in favor of it

despite this i'm sure many will use their service, those that are not too much into bitcoin, but that still want to use it as an alternative method

Poor article, it doesn't say a word about what this bank is going to do. Who will be its customers? It's already very easy to buy and sell BTC in Switzerland. What is going to change with this bank? What will be better?

Yeah and now we are so used to the Bitcoins that neither we need a bank nor we need a support from the government to start adopting and accepting bitcoin as a currency the only thing we need is the adoption from the people around us and if they are not aware we need to create an awareness level among them by disclosing the advantages of holding bitcoins.
