ya am sure and confident that in near future it is really possible to deposit and widhraw bitcoin through banks. i think in china and some other countries  they have the facilities in some band to deposit money in One coin.
I may try to agree with your opinion,but i think that we may have banks that let us deposit and withdraw bitcoins from our accounts.
In my opinion banks will surely try to get into bitcoin if it will get big,and the many of them are already doing this,i mean they start.
Having bank account with bitcoin would be cool,if you could loan there Cheesy for a good interest

right now it is not possible and actually banks are pretty against bitcoin and they don't like it.

but i do believe that in the future if bitcoin continues growing and getting bigger and bigger, then even banks would want in so online banks will be created similar to coinbase to keep your bitcoins and give you only an account.
whether it is good or bad is a different argument!

The end goal is that we do everything without necessarily involving banks or other custodians. But it will take a long time to get there and we should welcome banks and the likes if they are willing to ride with us.

You need to answer yourself why exactly banks were created. The most common arguments are:

1. Because storing your valuables, money or securities in your house became problematic and harder. Banks are designed to be more secure for that purposes.
2. People were baited by small and secure income. After all people are earning a small amount of fixed interest by keeping money in a banks.

And with bitcoin both of these arguments are kinda obsolete. There is no need to place your bitcoin into a banking institution for safekeeping, because you can deal with it on your own.
Bitcoin can be stored, online, offline, or even on paper or carved in metal. Possibilities are endless.

Same with interest rates - so far no financial institution will offer you any amount of fixed interest.


In principle, I agree.
Bitcoin is a liberating technology mainly because it gives people monetary autonomy. But so far, i don't think the vision of being your own banks has been realised with 90% of bitcoin users (the percentage is made up and based on intuition so may be meaningless, even if it is accurate ). They still use custodians such as Coinbase (and HaoBTC too), which are little different from the banks. Either the technological hurdle is too high for average Bitcoiners or they are not mentally prepared to take full responsibility.
The same goes for interest. Everyone knows that in the long run, return is diminishing - there are only so many coins to be mined and difficulty keeps rising, but that doesn't negate the fact that within a certain time window, it is possible for people who are in possession of the right conditions to mine profitably, and this has been proven in the past few years by some Chinese miners.
While the principles are sound and inviolable, we sometimes have to be nuanced when it comes to the specifics.

Wow, seems that we have got quite a bit attention here.
Are we a bank? We are and aren't.
We are in the sense that our interest-bearing wallets are essentially a fractional reserve system - your coins aren't sleeping in your HaoBTC accounts, instead, we put them to work. Like a bank, we profit by making more from investment than the interest we pay.
We are not in that we don't have a banking license. Neither do we lend to individual loaners. The upside is that we don't have to deal with bad loans. The downside is that right now we rely on profitable mining - we have created some new sources of income, but mining is still our bread and butter.
Hope that clear up things a bit and happy investing!

I think if the banks started to offer the services of bitcoin, then people will rely on banks for their bitcoins (but if they kept the fees etc at lower, the same as now on some wallets etc) because of the fear of hackers and because of the scammers, I think banks will provide guarantee to their coins.

Maybe it could happen someday, but banks need to accept bitcoin first and if the banks have interest for bitcoins, i'm sure many people will save their bitcoins in the bank.

If the banks offer interest for my bitcoins, I will save the bitcoin in banks and the banks can loan the bitcoin out.
That's probably not going to happen because in actuality, the banks would just never profit if that's the case because you can easily track of the transactions the banks are doing to your money and that's one thing banks wouldn't do. Transparency, they say.

I think it could happen in a country where the government hasn't banned it. I don't see why they couldn't accept it just like fiat. I think a bank that did this could be on the cutting edge for banking in the future.

It is now happening in our country! We have an online bitcoin wallet that is affliated with various banks.
We can also pay bills using our wallet.
Transaction fee is actually low to none. The best wallet in my opinion.

Does it pay interest?
If not, I will feel safer with my coins in cold storage.
You are just taking a big risk for the sake of convenience.

i think it is going to become possible in the future. not because it is a good thing but because bitcoin is a good thing and will grow in the future so banks would want in on this market and the profits that come with it so they will add such feature to their services.
but that would be useless because what bitcoin does is that it helps you not need any banks to keep your bitcoin and do it all yourself.

That will only be possible if banks will add bitcoin in their list of accepted currencies.

But why wait for that? Other bitcoin exchanges especially the local one in your country uses bank services for us people to get some bitcoin and that is presently active here in our country. Hope your country too has a service like that.

i dont see any reason i need to put my coin in the bank, if i put my coin in the bank then I lost one of the main reason i used bitcoin which is anonymity, when you store your coin in the bank you will lose ability to control your money, so I wont suggest anyone to put their coin in the bank

why would anybody want to put their bitcoin in a bank or a bank for bitcoin?!
putting your bitcoin in a bank means losing control over you money, the control that bitcoin gave you and you are giving it up for nothing, if you want banks you should use fiat not bitcoin.

I think https://haobtc.com is bank of bitcoin, they give us interest if we put bitcoin on their service.
Haobtc is technically not a bank. Their income is generated from a mining farm so it is basically a cloud mining site. A bank on the other hand, uses the interest from the loans to pay their user. A similar service that does this is BTCJam although i wouldn't use them.
It is just my opinion and if we put bitcoin on their service and get interest so it is bank of bitcoin.
