If there used to be a BTC bank and crashed down why there is no one more bank?
Because a bank isn't the point of bitcoins whatsoever. You're supposed to get as far away from
3rd parties handling your money as you can.
Keep it in your own wallet. Smiley

Because if you store a lot of something in a place, it's more likely it gets targeted, targeted to steal everything inside.
Trust me, you are better off storing your own coins.

If you really want some sort of interest or profit rate on your money
you're best off lending to private persons. But please be aware of the
risk. People tend to be dishonest when it comes to money.

Bitcoin is BYOB (Be Your Own Bank) by using your wallet to store your own coins securely.

IMHO, there is no need to have a bitcoin bank, when the most important feature of bitcoin is decentralization.

Don't ask for banks or we'll see them popping up in no time, ready to scam you. Cheesy

I'm sure there are some "banks" around. You basically send all your money and they falsely promise interest on that money, and you'll never be able to withdraw it again. No, this is not the point of bitcoins, be your own bank. Smiley

True.
Why send your bitcoin to someone else and ask him/her to hold it for you, instead of holding the bitcoin yourself? Cheesy

Exactly this. The great thing about bitcoin is we can be our own banks. We need to get away from our reliance on them.

Traditional banks wants your deposites and pays you interest because they can loan out money and charge higher interest. If there is no real demand for contracted loans in the current bitcoin environment, there is no market for a bitcoin bank.
