Typical banks, will they ever take Bitcoin seriously?

[dewynijhof]

Banks are very taking bitcoin very seriously, they know bitcoin can hardly be controlled by any third parties so they asked government to ban bitcoin, that slow bitcoin develope down very much.

[Kajevy]

bitcoin system against banks so that will never support bitcoin but they will take real work against bitcoin (will support blockchain technology )

[Theta Labs]

They definitely take it seriously! Jamie Dimon talking down bitcoin is not an off the cuff rant, he's disparaging a competitor.

[MattHoo]

Currently not, many countries like China and Russian banned bitcoin, and they will not accept it as a fiat currency, so i don't think the banks can take bitcoin seriously. May be some day later, the status can be changed. They will support blockchain technology.

Once there is enough (by their standards) money in it, and enough people use it they will not be able to afford to ignore it. Some banks are already contemplating the ways how to get the bitcoin to work for them so i think it's only the matter of time.

Maybe not, bitcoin runs in a blockchain technology and no banks can control it whatsoever, its hard to assume that banks can take over the crypto currency but the other way around, bitcoin and other coins are showing its influence over the banks day by day and even other industries.

Yes! Time will come that they will take bitcoin seriously because it still continues to have a fast rate of growth. Due to it's popularity, banks are now a little bit threatened to btc and they are only ending up between the two options, embracing or destroying bitcoins.

It was a good news if banks truely understand the idea of cryptocurrency and willing to cope with the blockchain technology, this will definitely benefit us because banks can now become more user friendly for all of us since we can now use both fiat money and btc. On the bad side, banks can spread black propagandas against btc and may result again to bitcoin's drop if they treat it as their enemy. (I hope this won't happen)

some of them are aware that crypto currency is taking over the world. the best they can do is to embrace it and see how they can position themselves and ride with the wave or they face the threat of being totally out of business in a few years

[partysumo]

They will of course fight against it for as long as they can, or try to keep them under control by pushing the governments to ban cryptocurrencies. They have to know that they will eventually have to at least "cooperate" with cryptocurrencies, but since it will distort their business practices for sure, what they are doing does not necessarily counts as foolishness, but rather maximzing profits for as long as possible, in my opinion.

[dawoodkhan97]

They are taking blockchain technology seriously and ways
of implementing it into their system and how they could
benefit from it.

Example of this would be Ripple by having more than 100
banks on board with big names such SCB, Bank of England
Bank Indonesia, Federal Reserve System and many more.

It hasn't taken over the world quite yet, it's just beginning for bitcoin, I am convinced however that certain governments will do everything in their power to stop ir or work against it.

[Irvinn]

Crypto currency can not for a long time be unregulated, "wild." Since it already has a strong impact on the economy and financial system of most states, states will have to either regulate or prohibit it. Now banks have the same choice. Only if the state recognizes crypto currency as a legal tender, then banks will have to comply with this. Nothing wrong with the fact that banks will be engaged in the exchange of crypto currency for ordinary money and accept it for payment, I do not see. On the contrary, it will only benefit the Crypto-currency, as it will develop faster.

Banks too have started focusing on Blockchain technology developing their own digital token for transaction purposes. One such that I came to know through an article is the boscoin which has been tested with the support of government in South Korea and might get into usage soon or later.

[priyankg3]

it takes time to adopt the system.

[MyIdeas]

I feel like they will have to the bigger it gets.

May be you are right in this case that banks will gets bigger by accepting Bitcoin. As we all know the importance of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the well-known crypto currency of the world. And many countries accepted Bitcoin with open minded. And if the government legalized the Bitcoin than definitely traditional bank accept Bitcoin seriously. With that bank will also got too much profit from Bitcoin. Community will happy to take Bitcoin.

[lepricoin]

probably not. Because bitcoin has properties, the presence of which does not allow it to do so. But the technology Blockchain is very suitable for banking operations.

[buharikx31]

Indeed, banks are intrested integrating wallets to their web-banking service, but they still have a lot issues with converting and keeping bitcoins, because of the not decentalized system which dont have any safe solution if something went wrong, but still big card companies are trying to integrate this techonology

[khaled0111]

With the rapid ascend of Bitcoin banks became more interested in it.
Some banks already adopted the blockchain technology because they realized how secure it is and it can improve their services.
But the majority of banks are still afraid of Bitcoin that is why they attack it by calling it a fraud in order to stop its ascendancy.
The blockchain technology may be accepted by banks but not Bitcoin as a currency, at least not now.

[holegordon]

Perhaps when the time comes that they have completely lost all their customers, that might be the time that banks will take Bitcoin seriously and take action.

[Md.salauddin]

may be near future banks take btc but need so many times. if the all banker  take it serious, but they will never tell that to the public. Instead they try to scare you away from it.
