Assets under management globally for Goldman Sachs - 1.8 trillion USD in 2019.
They are clearly one of the giants in global financial markets. However, holding a conference call with their clients literally means nothing for bitcoin. But I am happy to see that global financial giants have started taking bitcoin little more seriously.
Will they let spectators in or is it a private conference? I'd rather believe they'll talk about the dangers Bitcoin implies over their corporation than believe they're looking forward to doing something positive about it.
I'm very paranoid when it comes to corporations and banks and their "good willing", especially when it comes to the latter.
Even that shows the seriousness, if they want to bash bitcoin in front of their customers! There are 3 things that can happen for an organization, especially in financial sector -
1. They will feel threatened - the way JPM chase looked at it and later decided to embrace the change and allowed cyrpto exchanges to open banking account with JPM.
2. They will see opportunity - there are many companies embraced bitcoin for better. CME group is the front runner of it who had created a bitcoin ETF.
3. They will stay neutral - A majority of the financial institutions have chosen this route.
However, I think bitcoin is now too big to be ignored. Slowly but surely every companies in financial sector will have to consider bitcoin or bitcoin linked investment products.
