This is a great example, where reporters pick up on a story and decide to run with it, when they do not know the facts behind it all. A group of banks in Australia decided to "block"
Bitcoin, because they see it as a major competition for their business. They are currently under investigation for this, because it's against the Australian laws.
You will soon see a competitive "Blockchain" technology coming from these group of banks ....They just need to get rid of the competition first or slow it's progress.
