Paid Interest rates.
Even so, the more the better.
Competition weeds out the weak, and makes others stronger.

Nothing is know, it seems. But so far we have collectively been pretty good about making everyone run the gauntlet. Hopefully this continues. Scammers manipulators and the like will try everything. |

Underlines my point: we've been good at checking everything out and publicizing what we can find. My other point though is that I hope this continues. |

Umm...it says it will pay interest on your account but where does it talk about loaning out bitcoins in order to make money to pay that interest?

This was my first thought. I always distrust a site that won't give at least some basic info such as the company name. What a cheek to call themselves a 'bank' whilst withholding that. |

I thought the same thing. Perhaps they trade Bitcoins... but you need a lot of capital on hand in case of losses. If they develop a reliable system to exchange Bitcoins easily, they could charge for the transactions, such as Paypal. Also, is it good or bad this person(s) is in the US? There are some pretty tough rules just to call yourself a bank. Hopefully the due diligence has been done. |

I always wonder how any company that pays interest gets the money to PAY that interest....? we pay interest on a positive bitcoin balance at the end of each month. So are they charging a holding fee or a transaction fee? Might be important to know. Can only join with an invite? Do you have to be screened to be sufficiently dupable or what? |

I posted this question in another thread ( http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=21615.0;all) How will flexcoin use the Bitcoins? The FAQ does not give any information on this subject. What safeguards are there against flexcoin making bad investments and being unable to give deposits back? I am not accusing flexcoin of operating any scam - however, further information would be useful to understand how flexcoin operates. |

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

First Bitcoin Bank now taking Invites | Flexcoin June 27, 2011 The world’s first Bitcoin Bank, Flexcoin.com is now taking invites for people to use it’s banking services for bitcoins. It’s scheduled for a July 1st, 2011 launch, but already some people are able to use the service via invite only. It’s being allocated on a per request basis as room is made available and the infrastructure is being built out. The new design of the site was launched a few hours ago and it’s receiving positive response in terms of usefulness and eye appeal. The invite only process was selected to stagger the growth to accommodate security related issues to ensure that everyone’s coins are safe as well as work out any potential bugs in the system (hence it’s limited rollout). Demand for the Bitcoin bank is staggering as company officials are being inundated with requests for the service. The bank doesn’t expect any issues, however it’s better to be safe than sorry. Feel free to put yourself on the invite list http://www.tribbleagency.com/?p=8102 |
