I also sense the same way. Banks are controlled by the government so there's no way that they will have an opposite point of view towards bitcoin. And if ever there is, there's a set trap on it for bitcoin. So bitcoiners never take risk your bitcoin and entrust it to centralized banks nor to centralized exchanges. They only have the same goal because they are obviously backed up by the government. Banks can be good in fiat, but with bitcoin, I just don't think it fits for it.

This only talks about the level of customer satisfaction and they provide several alternatives to make it appear that this system supports Bitcoin's progress. Even though we suspect some of the reasons that they may have deliberately created, indirectly people are starting to see different definitions. When centralized systems try to advertise bitcoin which was previously considered a threat there may be other reasons why they tend to start to soften towards bitcoin's growing journey and continue to gain wider adoption.

This move is considered smart by some people because banks are not trying to be competitors but rather they can be partners for customers trying to make adjustments in investments. This doesn't just talk about trust because when you are involved in investment, convenience can be an option, after that regarding security measures you can determine it yourself by using several methods available in the asset storage aspect.

This is a true story Nordea is offering Bitcoin ETP to their customers from October 30th. You may have missed this news. This will increase adoption for Bitcoin to a great extent and increase people's trust in Bitcoin to a great extent. I am giving some source links from where you can read the details.

So it goes... The banks finally noticed...

They took ten years to refer to it as rat poison, terrorist money, tulip mania 2.0... and quietly buy, needless to say. They are now packing it, sanitizing it, wrapping it in a nice ETF package with fee structure that would make a loan shark get blushy. Custody fees! Transaction fees! Management fees! They are constructing toll booths at a highway that was meant to pass around them completely.

They are unable to kill it (eventually), thus, they are colonizing it (obviously). Making peer-to-peer freedom another product they can offer, another source of their revenue, another means of interposing between you and your own prosperity. Is it the same institutions that were bailed out in '08 that are now your reliable bitcoin custodians?

And, Saylor, yes, you are right about the price... But the actual price is sovereignty. Every sat you don't own is a sat you're paying rent to own. The banks are providing convenience. Bitcoin offers exit. Choose carefully. The window is still open, but it is closing. Not due to the impending demise of bitcoin, but because the on-ramps are being monopolized, being sanitized, being turned into another managed account.

Not your keys? What exactly are you purchasing then?

The news sounds good overall, but I don't like the banks' move towards Bitcoin because Bitcoin, by its very nature as a decentralized system, is completely at odds with central banks.

Those who invest in Bitcoin through banks don't actually own anything. The banks will be the true owners of Bitcoin, and there won't be any difference because banks can freeze any user's Bitcoin and prevent them from making any transactions.

I don't see anything bad from banks advertising on bitcoin, because it's also a medium of exchange as a digital currency, which they both serve the same purpose of a currency, regardless of being fiat or crypto, some banks have already been allowed to do so before now while some are still awaiting on information from the central authorities to permit them do the same, this is not like gambling that could be strange for them to do so.

This is exactly why the bank is coming into the business. Since they can't be able to stop people from investing in Bitcoin, they are now into dragging those people into doing it with them so as to keep them close, take their money, and give them an audio balance, which they will still have to decide when they can withdraw, how to spend, and can freeze/deny them access to anytime.

Some of the local banks into my country are already adapted the use of the bitcoin this during the hype session of the bitcoin on that time, and my country is one of the people who keep supporting the use of the crypto but upon reviews some of the feedback came from the end-users are not really good because every time they want to make a deposit and withdrawal it tooks a lot of time and approval before it makes a confirmation and every time there's a huge market changes happen like a massive dump and pump people cant trade their coins and converted into a stable coins. Reason why they avoid now using the banks with crypto instead people still prefer international platform such exchange with crypto than banks.

Yea, they advertise first, then companies and funds take loans to buy BTC. Check Metaplanet for example, analogue of Strategy. Taking loans to buy btc even though they are in big loss: https://btcusa.com/major-bitcoin-holder-metaplanet-takes-on-100m-loan-to-buy-more-btc-despite-deep-losses/
