Is it possible that Bitcoin can be deposited in the banks in the near future? I mean like any other currencies that can be deposited and withdraw in the banks.
some common replies to this subject:
bitcoin does not need banks. you can however put a private key in a safe deposit box any time you like.
banks will not drop FIAT to solely and directly hold bitcoin, at the moment there are regulations that have been around for decades to keep FIAT as the sole currency a bank should handle.
however private businesses are already trying (mostly failing (due to scammy motives of them)) to create bank-like services.
you will not see a bank transacting in bitcoin direct. just like you cant buy shares or gold from your banks ATM.. however their corporate arms(subsidiaries and side businesses) may offer services to 'open special trading accounts' to buy and sell bitcoin just like some banks have special trading side business for stocks and shares.
just dont expect it to be something that will be available as part of a standard savings account or service offered at an ATM.
but overall, i still wonder why people think that banks are even needed... anyone who suggests they are.. obviously needs to learn the benefits of a personally held private key.
