I think bitcoin will be more like the gold reserve
Could be, but it is intended to be used as a typical currency so we can't be so sure of it yet. Give and take a couple years, we should be able to get the answers on whether bitcoin will be used as a currency. If it does, then it has a possibility to be in a sort of banking scheme. But if it doesn't work. Then it could be either an asset just like what it is today or be a gold reserve if we push on it behaving like a bank.

The link you shared is very clear about that and it looks like if people visiting the link will get an answer there.It really helps everyone later. Thank you for what you have done
Did anyone think at this? How would a bank work? How could you loan bitcoins and get interest for them in an economy with just 21 milion BTC limit?
And who told you that countries will be adopting Bitcoin as their official currency? That’s not even going to happen, no country will be adopting a decentralized cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, neither will they adopt other currencies.Of course, there is going to be a time when we will be using cryptocurrencies but it doesn’t mean the fiat we are using now will be extinct, cryptocurrencies will just be another part of it that people can use to make transactions faster and cheap. And then banks will be able to give out loans to people because it’s going to be a centralized coin. Even with Bitcoin you can still give out loans, because collateral is always involved when banks are giving loan.

Bitcoin is a bank. This is useful for almost everyone and it is beneficial for everyone.
BitCoin Bank is a very simple concept. This will be the Safety Deposit Box system for the .dat file account. The bank will not know who the customer is or how much in the storage box. They only charge a fee to keep the file secure .dat. A good bank will look at supported boxes around the world and even physical .dat files in the form of binary prints for emergency recovery. (eg, pulse EMP takes all the vast electronic world or something of that nature). You can recover your physical print binary file and start typing data in new to restore. It would be very inconvenient but hey if there is a million dollars in there I will type for you.
Banks may eventually play a role and give the option for customers to have Bitcoin with them. I'd assume mainstream folks that have trust in their banks would prefer this. Sort of like an exchange but integrated with existing bank accounts. The rest can use wallets with private keys.
BTC market has many holes, high risk, if set up a BTC may business failure, I think so, the BTC price fluctuations over time, increasing in the future. Currently no one dares to raise capital by BTC.
I was having a different opinion about this concepts but now, I am convinced with the idea of decentralization. It doesn't make any sense to keep money with someone else if the core concept of blockchain is all about decentralization. We can see that there are some decentralized exchanges coming up but those are still in the basic phase of development so we might see something that would be similar to the banking system without centralization.
To date, the authorities and governments of countries in which Bitcoin is legalized can act in the same way, or they are already acting in this direction. But how will one bank differ from the existing banking system.
Bitcoin is proven to make it easy to buy bitcoin by bank transfer or bank account and without involving a 3rd party.

I do not think there is a bitcoin bank, there is only a wallet of wallets to change into the currency of each country through banks, and banks will take fees or taxes in the process of exchange from bitcoin to conventional currency.

i think bitcoin banks do not works as lending institution, maybe it will work best if it will be intended to store you bitcoins and earn interest to add up on your savings. if you will loan bitcoin, since bitcoin is volatile the principal amount could incur interest but hard to compute, unlike when you loan in dollars, the computation of interest is based on the current rate of dollars. and it is fixed.
I don't think a bitcoin bank would work like thar it will definitely make money from transactions fees it will charge clients monthly or annually but it won't be able to make loans because every time a bank makes loans it creates more money and that is what drives inflation yet with the limited amount of bitcoin that is impossible.
I don't think bitcoin is meaningful, because each of us can protect our own bitcoin well.
In fact, BTC itself is decentralized, and it is unnecessary to make a bitcoin bank.

Yes there are banks - they allow you to store Bitcoins online and to do transactions from a mobile device (as it's impossible to do a real mobile BTC client because you need to carry the whole transaction chain in your pocket...), or change your bitcoins into other currencies. They're not called banks due to regulatory issues, in fact they'll probably go out of their way to claim they're NOT banks, but in practical terms they are.One of them was MtGox - and there you can see all the regulatory issues they're dodging... if a real bank had "lost" money belonging to their customers, the CEO would be in jail now (or the government would bail the bank out)..
They would just act as a center of storing and managing the issues of your portfolios by the aid of effective management boards

Bitcoin can indeed be a Bank. Because Bitcoin has helped many people in need. Especially for the affairs of investment assets. Although, the amount of Bitcoin is still very limited and there is only 21 million Bitcoin in the World. But I am sure that Bitcoin can be a good bank for its users.
I was very happy to hear this. If in our country there is a bitcoin bank I find this really great. This will make me more commercially viable.
