hmm why will all banks take notice when another looks at ripple but when its one major bank that doesnt no others will take interest. Like it or not, Canada is not small and other banks will keep a keen eye on it.
The smart people will cash in now and ride BTC back up, i told them they should of done that over a week ago and they could have doubled their XRP supply for this ride. The ride is nothing more than what we see each time BTC dips, so be careful especially when there is no positive news and any news they threw at it did nothing for a week so be very careful of that building bubble!
I explained this a couple posts above. I'm from Canada. Canadian government will most likely keep testing this until they approve it. They always reject things at first even life-saving medications as I said above even if its passed in the states Canadian Government feels they are more strict than American. And that goes for this too.
Give it another year or so when all the other banks are on board and someone blasts them in some article about being behind the times...again, then we will see them get on board.
We are talking about a country here that makes sure radio stations play x% of Canadian content as well as Canadian TV channels. Canadian government is very controlling, we are still fighting for the ability to pick and choose our TV channels outside of a pre-picked package by the cable companies.
Also because of current laws we currently have the most expensive internet and phone data plans on earth due to how behind the times our government is here. A common data plan around here is 500 megabytes, not even kidding and don't ever go over that 500 megabytes or you get dinged several hundred dollars on your bill.
The CRTC most recently passed a motion that Canadian Networks could no longer play their own commercials during the Super Bowl (mostly because imo they just rebroadcast another networks show and rake in the advertising which most Canadian channels do for every American TV show which is some pretty easy money).
Think about that for a second thought in regards to blockchain. How controlling and strict as well as bein always behind the curve. They control everything down to what commercials are played and not played. Not to mention several American channels are never able to be approved unless an overwhelming amount of people request the channel (and that's for all cable companies they can only carry certain channels, for example no company could start up and offer all American channels and no Canadian ones)
This is no surprise at all they will be behind the curve as well when it comes to blockchain. They will keep testing it and as soon as they see other people do it and it starts making them look like idiots THEN they will adopt it. Watch it will happen.
