With its present market cap and trade volume, BTC isn't even a mosquito on the windscreen of behemoths like Western Union, JPM, Deutsche, Barclays, GS and the likes.
Yes, that is why Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs completely ignore Bitcoin instead of publishing papers on it.
It's not like in the late '70s when huge companies like Digital Equipment, IBM and Xerox laughed at the personal computer guys and let them steal their thunder (and in the case of Xerox their research in graphic interfaces). Big corps now are fully aware of the disruptive possibility of startups. Hence why a lot of money gets poured in them. Don't underestimate them. Even though they move slowly when the get in full motion you want to get out of the way or be crushed underneath them.
