If IOTA goes through with bank partnerships its going to get way bigger than it already is. Does anyone have any idea which banks they're in talks with?
Where did you read something regarding banks? For me it doesn't really make sense to focus on Banking, IOTA doesn't seem to use the tech banks need. I'm more thinking about Internet of things devices like smartphones (samsung is working on a IOTA phone), kitchen appliances (BOSH is working on IOTA devices), and so on.
Different chronological order.
Once there is a machine economy of course they need to take part, cannot ignore a new paradigm for overly long. For a bank money is a bussiness, not a geeks hobby. I think we are investing more bitcoins for our hobbys than any professional bank would advise to be sane.
Just now Zomg! Banks! is nonsense.
