Banks hostile to bitcoin because of "unclear" regulation or competition

[notig]

It seems to me the greatest problem bitcoin faces isn't governments..... it is banks. That is because in the scheme of things the power of banks are above governments (The major banks). That's why I don't think the chances of bitcoin surviving much longer are too great......

but it seems like others just think the banks are waiting for clearer regulation rules. So which do you fall under? Do you think banks are hostile towards bitcoin because of unclear regulation or because of their wanting to retain ultimate power?

That might be one of the reasons, but not the main reason. The main reason is definitely on the ideological grounds.
