We all know how risky bitcoin is. Let's imagine the most riskiest money deposit situation.
What do you think guys, will this moment ever come and banks decide to offer us Bitcoin deposits (e.g. fixed profit on 1 year deposit and etc).
This can be very, very profitable for banks if they make correct decisions.
P.S I don't mean freebitco.in's offer of holds on their wallet. I mean if official banks ever offer us this service.
The current banking system most likely sees cryptocurrencies as their competition for several reasons which is why we have seen some negative comments from Jamie Dimon and other bank executives.
However, at some point, I think banks will have to adapt to cryptocurrencies and incorporate that into their regular banking activities if they want to survive.
I see this happening from the reverse direction with Coinbase. At first Coinbase only let you use you bank account to purchase Bitcoins. Now they are letting customers hold US dollars in their Coinbase accounts.
