Bitcoin becomes one of the biggest Investments by all the Major Banks in History

[Bitcoinpro]

Considering the list of Major banks to have invested in Bitcoin

it could soon hold the record for the biggest number of Bank investors of any project in history

and its a record that might never be broken,

I heard Standard Oil is wanting to speak with you.

[Yakamoto]

I wouldn't say that Bitcoin is one of the biggest investments by major banks in history, simply because there is no way that major banks would all have this much interest in such a new object, and at the same time maintain such a low market cap.

If you can provide a list of all the different banks that have invested in Bitcoin, that would be appreciated.

[WENGER]

Not sure but it seems a bit different than what banks has told news presses for the couple of past months as their only interested at blockchain system itself and are studying it, not Bitcoin as a whole unless I'm missing something and it would be good to back it up with some proof, so we could see as well.

they are positioning themselves strategically trying not to draw attention while

organising investment vehicles etc etc

only takes 16 million rich people to all decide together they want 1 Bitcoin in their own wallet

and kaboom we will have a cosmic supernova

type the banks name and then cryptocurrency or bitcoin and their u have it

u could also try the word blockchain, which is really also refering to

having programmers analyse the bitcoin software protocols and

make generic software for the banks to store coin,

also all the big banks are represented at the major gathering n forums

amd the main topic is bitcoin / blockchain amd they wouldnt be

talking about it if they wernt invested or planning to invest heavily

[Bitcoinpro]

the reason why the prices stay low even though Billions is pouring in is because

exchanges are multiplying the number of bitcoins to 100 millions

also exchanges like cryptsy are alledgedly collapsing stealing money coins etc

you could only speculate how much coin gets lost in these types of folds

the proof of how strong investments are is the fact 1 million dollars worth

3600 coins is coming into the system each day and the price stays strong

[Jet Cash]

Junk bond derivatives are the biggest bank investment, scam and theft.

[btckold24]

I would be surprised if any banks at all invested. At least american banks. There is so many rules for banks and
they only invest in certain things and usually those are mortgages and personal loans/ business loans to customers
of the bank. I know some banks outside the US I hear are investing which is cool.

[franky1]

banks cannot by regulation invest directly in bitcoin
they wont get the funds insured..

this has been the big warning that regulators have been making to banks in th US, UK, Russia, china, australia. banks can spend money on research and development of own systems (research into blockchains), but they cannot invest in actually buying actual bitcoins.

so please stop with the speculating

Banks do soo many investments high risked,with a high return income as well,soo why they cant try bitcoin?They wont need to show where those money cames,that can be happening even without being regulated... bitcoin has a huge volume on it,sure banks can be playing with a small ammount,or people asking them to they invest at it a part of their savings.. or even withdrawing their money to play at it.

This is a good show. As much as we can say that the bitcoin is facing stiff competition from the other financial institutions, it is very true that they have also felt the threat and it is the reason they are having the back up plans here and there. I a totally happy for the bitcoin in general as a digital currency. It may seem to be a small thing but i can boldly say that this is how the coin is spreading. Soon, it will be very difficult to deny that bitcoin is of great importance to all of us.

[knowhow]

They cant do nothing against it,bitcoin has a name and an image,those is being exposed to bad things till the moment,but the potencial of it is bringing in a lot investors dreaming to double or make a good roi and fast profit.

[tiggytomb]

I have seen stories of banks investing in the blockchain technology but am yet to see any about them investing in bitcoin itself.

[btcprospecter]

Bitcoin could be a good investment by banks it does seem to be doing better than some stocks, shares and commodities. I would make sense for them to invest money can be made either short term or long term trading.

[botany]

I haven't seen any investment made by banks in Bitcoin. Banks are investing in blockchain technology, which could help them cut costs.
It is just part of their IT budget for improving efficiency. No big deal.

[fuathan]

This argument seems to be true when you think that countries like Canada want to create their own cryptocurrency.

The regulators have been making no such statements

Im the Cryptocurrency Regulator

your talking about Fiat regulations

based on low vunerable security thats requires

high cost and vast police  and armies for defense and security

and they are public driven entities withs laws

made by the people for the people

your comments are negative towards bitcoin

and filthy propaganda lies,

Banks are already investing and hold Bitcoins.

Bitcoin is the Uber of the Currency world.

Banks have also been entering the block size debate

its to obvious they are referring directly to the Bitcoin blockchain

The one basic issue is that the value of bitcoin is not "pinned" to anything obvious.  For example, if you buy Apple stock, that is connected to the well being of the Apple corporation.  With bitcoin, it's not immediately obvious what influences the price of bitcoin, which makes it less possible to figure out what can change prices.

The other issue is that bitcoin is still quite new, and there is still a lot of room for "unknown unknowns" and "growing pains".  We've been trading stocks for hundreds of years, so a lot of the failure modes are well known.  With bitcoin, we don't know what the failure modes are.

One thing is that risk is not a bad thing.  One reason I like bitcoin is that with stocks everyone has got everything figured out, and it's very unlikely you will be the first person in the world to figure out something new about Apple stock.  Bitcoin is new enough so that you could be one of the first dozen people in the world to figure out something about it that no one realized before.
