It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

very interesting, no doubt they will miss the entire point and try to centralise control of their blockchain within their own servers. get ready for some massive electricity bills RBS to basically produce a sub-par altcoin.

It might benefit the bank internal accounting operations but they have severe IT problems some of the software they run was written in the 80's and patched ever since. It like a Jenga tower the only way RBS can modernise their back-end is basically knock it all down and start again.
