The one basic issue is that the value of bitcoin is not "pinned" to anything obvious. For example, if you buy Apple stock, that is connected to the well being of the Apple corporation. With bitcoin, it's not immediately obvious what influences the price of bitcoin, which makes it less possible to figure out what can change prices.

The other issue is that bitcoin is still quite new, and there is still a lot of room for "unknown unknowns" and "growing pains". We've been trading stocks for hundreds of years, so a lot of the failure modes are well known. With bitcoin, we don't know what the failure modes are.

One thing is that risk is not a bad thing. One reason I like bitcoin is that with stocks everyone has got everything figured out, and it's very unlikely you will be the first person in the world to figure out something new about Apple stock. Bitcoin is new enough so that you could be one of the first dozen people in the world to figure out something about it that no one realized before.

Software traditionaly always succeeds as it can be upgraded, the succes is not entirely software dependant

though with such a high uaser and support base with the objective of being the worlds currency systems it lacks

neither the support or finacial banking and has very moralistic ideas as its core beliefs,

Well the believers are rich ,the creator as well,i doubt he or she hadnt sell some coins when they worth 1000dollars,and well left the rest into those wallets ,hoping that demand and supply makes bitcoin up or down,bitcoin investment can be see as the next best investment over the last 100 years,soo be part of it is just amazing.Banks wanna reduce their wages ,soo blockchain tech will allow them to save,soo they saying yes to technology,and one they bitcoin will be said as well.

I haven't seen any investment made by banks in Bitcoin. Banks are investing in blockchain technology, which could help them cut costs.
It is just part of their IT budget for improving efficiency. No big deal.

Banks have also been entering the block size debate

its to obvious they are referring directly to the Bitcoin blockchain

banks cannot by regulation invest directly in bitcoin
they wont get the funds insured..

this has been the big warning that regulators have been making to banks in th US, UK, Russia, china, australia. banks can spend money on research and development of own systems (research into blockchains), but they cannot invest in actually buying actual bitcoins.

so please stop with the speculating

The regulators have been making no such statements

Im the Cryptocurrency Regulator

your talking about Fiat regulations

based on low vunerable security thats requires

high cost and vast police and armies for defense and security

and they are public driven entities withs laws

made by the people for the people

your comments are negative towards bitcoin

and filthy propaganda lies,

Banks are already investing and hold Bitcoins.

Bitcoin is the Uber of the Currency world.

This argument seems to be true when you think that countries like Canada want to create their own cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin could be a good investment by banks it does seem to be doing better than some stocks, shares and commodities. I would make sense for them to invest money can be made either short term or long term trading.

I have seen stories of banks investing in the blockchain technology but am yet to see any about them investing in bitcoin itself.

This is a good show. As much as we can say that the bitcoin is facing stiff competition from the other financial institutions, it is very true that they have also felt the threat and it is the reason they are having the back up plans here and there. I a totally happy for the bitcoin in general as a digital currency. It may seem to be a small thing but i can boldly say that this is how the coin is spreading. Soon, it will be very difficult to deny that bitcoin is of great importance to all of us.

Banks do soo many investments high risked,with a high return income as well,soo why they cant try bitcoin?They wont need to show where those money cames,that can be happening even without being regulated... bitcoin has a huge volume on it,sure banks can be playing with a small ammount,or people asking them to they invest at it a part of their savings.. or even withdrawing their money to play at it.

I would be surprised if any banks at all invested. At least american banks. There is so many rules for banks and
they only invest in certain things and usually those are mortgages and personal loans/ business loans to customers
of the bank. I know some banks outside the US I hear are investing which is cool.

Junk bond derivatives are the biggest bank investment, scam and theft.

the reason why the prices stay low even though Billions is pouring in is because

exchanges are multiplying the number of bitcoins to 100 millions

also exchanges like cryptsy are alledgedly collapsing stealing money coins etc

you could only speculate how much coin gets lost in these types of folds

the proof of how strong investments are is the fact 1 million dollars worth

3600 coins is coming into the system each day and the price stays strong

I wouldn't say that Bitcoin is one of the biggest investments by major banks in history, simply because there is no way that major banks would all have this much interest in such a new object, and at the same time maintain such a low market cap.

If you can provide a list of all the different banks that have invested in Bitcoin, that would be appreciated.

type the banks name and then cryptocurrency or bitcoin and their u have it

u could also try the word blockchain, which is really also refering to

having programmers analyse the bitcoin software protocols and

make generic software for the banks to store coin,

also all the big banks are represented at the major gathering n forums

amd the main topic is bitcoin / blockchain amd they wouldnt be

talking about it if they wernt invested or planning to invest heavily

Not sure but it seems a bit different than what banks has told news presses for the couple of past months as their only interested at blockchain system itself and are studying it, not Bitcoin as a whole unless I'm missing something and it would be good to back it up with some proof, so we could see as well.

they are positioning themselves strategically trying not to draw attention while

organising investment vehicles etc etc

only takes 16 million rich people to all decide together they want 1 Bitcoin in their own wallet

and kaboom we will have a cosmic supernova
