i think bitcoin will be more popular after 5 years or more since everyday, more and more users are being aware of what bitcoin is and i think there will be a mass adaptation if this happens. more shops and services will accept bitcoin

Lol if you think banks are really "afraid" of Bitcoin. Do you know how easily they could spam the network for months on end? It costs them nothing.

No particular bank is going to go ahead and do that. It would be almost accepting defeat. Smiley
When the spamming stops / block size increases, bitcoin will emerge stronger.

How would it be accepting defeat? If a bank were able to make Bitcoin unusable for a month, people aren't going to sit around in the meantime and just wait for it to subside.

Completely agree. Almost all major bank have their own "bitcoin clone" on their drawing board. Gooood. Because bitcoin will in the end be the back bone to connect all thies bank-shit-coins together.

the simply thing that they are interested in the blockchain technology without wanting bitcoin, mean that they are a little afraid about it, and they want to take the advantage of the benefit that this tech can provide, in the case bitcoin will be a good contender for them

Even if they aren't open about Bitcoin everyone is holding some. Even if they say "we are not interested in Bitcoin, we just want the blockchain" sort of thing, they are secretly holding lots of BTC, because at the end of the day the guys in the banking world aren't idiots, that's why they are rich.

Banks have very high disclosure levels / regulatory norms. So it is just not possible for them to go and buy bitcoins ( even if they do believe its price could  become 100x).

i don't think there are enough bitcoin for every bank out there there are simply too many, so many of those bank simply don't care or they do not have any bitcoin, which are probably those bank that want to build their own crypto coin, like citycoin the last scam...

I haven't thought about it that way, but completely agree with that. Bitcoin has earning potential, and its ups and down provide also a great earn potential by trading...

Those who hold lots of money (banks) will surely play with some Bitcoins to raise their own earnings.

I agree completely...  I've never heard so much talk about these kinds of new money changing technologies and even worse large companies that are threatened by BTC actually acknowledging the technology (even if only discredit).  I think we could see adoption numbers jump significantly in the very near future.

It's a shame people are so scared of change, especially because it will be a positive change and have many benefits for the people, society and the economy as a whole.

I think once people are more familiar with the idea and become acquainted with BTC they should become more open to it. Threat will see how they can apply the change in the context of their own life and how they can too benefit from it.

yes I have same impression.

they are somehow trying to separate entire blockchain technology and principles from bitcoin itself. it is logical, because blockchain can improve their services and help them but bitcoin slowly killing them.

I'm not so technically gifted to understands, if blockchain can works separated and without bitcoin usage..
This discussion has been held a  times, without a coin there is no incentive, without incentive there is no  blockchain. Mining is what makes the blockchain possible

hahaha and this is just the beginning, last day i was talking with one of my friends about it, they are trying now to distract people about the blockchain, i mean that i fell that now the good news is that now we have a good tecnology, is like the blockchain is good and the bitcoin is bad, why? Tongue

btw instead of that they are going to create his own coin LOL.....

They are distracting people as they have a fear to loose their customers and that's the reason they are spreading negative publicity related to bitcoins and blockchain, as they know if it hits the mainstream their business would be definitely in trouble.

there are a lot of Corporations on the cusp of realizing that blockchain tech is a great idea and will make a great many things better, but they all keep thinking they can use the blockchain aspect without the coin.
the coin is what motivates the miner to secure the network.
