Obviously, it is very unlikely to happen in the near future, but something's happening and they know it. The fact that major entitites like these are making a public statement about the current trend of bitcoin, right after a huge spike in its price, makes me think that maybe their costumer feel something's wrong?, "maybe i should invest in bitcoin" is probably what their big customers are thinking, therefore the banks feel the need to make a statement saying how bitcoin is useless. But i bet they're getting more and more requests regarding btc investment. These old turds are probably crying they didn't invest in bitcoin years ago.
Totally agree with this , They are pretty obligated to say this kind of statements whether they are believe in it or not , BTC is the thing that threaten there industry . And for how long they are saying the same thing over and over again ! . They have no credibility in judging when it is something related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency overall .
