You can borrow btc from lenders on here granted you will probably have to provide collateral if you are not trusted but that should not matter if you plan on paying it back, also the interest is a lot better than loand company's extortion rates  Undecided

As has been said you are in a position to be your own bank, enjoy that as it has taken hundreds of years to become a reality.

I don`t see trusted "Bank" where I would send my BTC.
In the gambling section you can see many attemps for scam as they offer nice interest rate. But I would recommend to stay away.

more middle man more scam , OP still can achive this by offering loan and get intrest on it , as many already do this rite here in this forum

I find it a good idea but how could we ever trust them?
With a "Real bank" if they take my money at least I can get them.
With bitcoin they can dissapear with all your money  Grin

It wouldn't be decentralized if a bank exist. A bank can easily seize the Bitcoins from accounts thus it would work same as the real life banks.

Exactly. Bitcoin was made to stop those types of actions.

 A place where you can give your bitcoins and earn savings or take out loans or whatever the other banks do really , just simply a bitcoin bank?
this will defeated the main purpose of bitcoin which is being decentralization. there is no place where you can trust with your BTC and they give you profit. just exchange it to fiat and put it in a bank and get profit and loans that way.

Yes there is a true bitcoin bank and that is 'your' wallet, we are breaking free from banks and fractional reserve thiefs god willing so the plan is to not look back  Smiley

Spend time researching what you believe would be a good investment and go with it, be your own boss of your own money.

Good luck

The problem of the PoS algorithm is : it is more vulnerable to a 51% attack ( I'm saying a 51% coin attack). So the large bagholder can "destroy" the coin.

More vulnerable than what?

And, a good PoS implementation is not even vulnerable to that kind of attack  Wink
maybe he compare it PoW method like bitcoin have

Bank for bitcoin is stupid idea, it would destroy bitcoin goal as decentralize currency
Online wallet which not allow their user to have their private key can ba called bitcoin bank already

Be your own bank by have your own wallet

interest and deflation are things of the old fiat which relies on deflation, lending out more and more and expecting even more in return only to lend out more in a vicious circle. Bitcoin breaks this circle. Interest is no part of bitcoin unless you lend it out yourself, invest it with the risk of losing it all in a ponzi or mall managed businessoppurtunity or startup.

the only bitcoin bank is you wallet with your local client, but it would be cool if who has some btc could see it rising in the wallet, but not exactly like pos coin

those already rich should not be rewarded, but only who have small amount of btc

There is no difference between interest paid for your bank account and interest of a PoS coin.
Except your bank's interest is probably lower, and you give all your money out of your own hands  Cheesy

Everyone gets the same % in PoS.

In my example:
My bank pays me 0.01% per year
My PoS coin pays me ~0.5% year

To make the poor earn more interest than the rich is very very hard to do in crypto, because of sybil attack.

None that I know of, every other 'service' I've seen offering interest on btc deposits have turned out to be ponzis so I'd steer clear unless you're in the habit of giving bitcoins away. You could try loaning btc with interest but then you would be taking the risk of people defaulting, there are plenty of scammers on the lending board of the forum.

Since when do you earn interest on savings with banks anymore? In fact looks like many might be going into negative interest rates ie you have to pay them to hold your money. I don't really think we need a bank to look after our coins as we can do that ourselves but maybe you'll be able to get bitcoin loans eventually but it'd probably be easier to get a cash loan and buy bitcoins with it.
