I did not know that a bank has bidden for the Silk Road Bitcoins  Shocked Was it the only bank or were there some others? i would not be surprised when Goldman Sachs would a bidder, too.

BNP Paribas was one of the bidders in the fed auction for Silk Road bitcoins (courtesy - leaked mail addresses Smiley )
So I am not surprised.

A new technology for the banking world: “The internet of money”

In 2008, an individual or group writing under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper that described a peer-to-peer version of electronic cash that “would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution”. The first implementation of this concept is known as Bitcoin. Today, ‘crypto-currencies’ is the label used to describe all networks and mediums of exchange that use cryptography to secure transactions – as opposed to systems in which transactions are secured through a third party, such as a bank.
