So much so that 15% of banks world wide expect to widely implement blockchain, which is a ledger of transactions updated in real time by various institutions, by next year, according to the report which surveyed 200 global banks.
These banks, mostly medium to large-sized institutions, are focusing their blockchain technology on three areas: consumer lending, retail payments, and reference data, which refers to the real-time information sharing of transactions across business divisions and institutions.
In four years, IBM says that 66% percent of banks expect to have blockchain in commercial production and at scale.
Bitcoin is great but you are not giving an argument for buying bitcoin, even if what you say is true the blockchain they are going to use is their own and not the bitcoin chain, so it is not like we could benefit from any of that, banks and governments love the blockchain technology but they hate bitcoin on top of it, so they are going to avoid using it if they can.
