Typical banks will surely take bitcoin seriously, because during the past year an calculation was made and revealed stating a huge loss to the banking system just because of bitcoin. This has generated a huge downfall and to overcome they are making plans of blockchain technology implementation into the banking system and several banks has already completed their trials.

In my opinion banks really dislike the idea of Bitcoin since it takes them out of the equation - if Bitcoin is a regular thing, people won't need to use banks.

Probably never. BTC is a major competition to the banks, if btc becomes a major everyday currency like fiat, then banks will go out of business. So obviously they will never support BTC or take it seriously.

I'm not so sure of that. Banks aside from everything people here despise them for, are also a business that needs to book profits every year. If it doesn't come from free will, I strongly believe that at some point they will get forced to start incorporate Bitcoin in whatever form. People constantly say how bad Bitcoin is for banks, which is true, but I don't see why banks and other financial institutions can't benefit from Bitcoin's gigantic potential and eventual level of adoption. I can even see them allowing people to buy/sell Bitcoin and other crypto through their platform. I'm not directly referring to an exchange like service such as Bitstamp, but more a dedicated service that allows you to buy and sell Bitcoin according to the latest exchange rates.

Block chain, yes. Bitcoin, is something they take very seriously but will likely fight tooth and nail against. The caveat is that they may offer services and incentives to keep customer Bitcoin in their coffers somehow and make the same money off of those services as Fiat... just like the exchanges do now.

They already do, but they make you think it's a scam because they are afraid you leave them , 3% against 3000% of gain, no question

In my opinion some banks have already started taking Bitcoin seriously. Few banks in my country started research about Blockchain. They are interested in implementing this technology. Probably they are afraid of losing control of finances. Some banks in my country started blocking accounts for investing in Bitcoin. That's ridiculous.

definitely not now but certainly in future. Banks are looking at bitcoin as a huge threat to their business. With bitcoin's market cap crosses 100 billion mark which has not been channelized in banking sector, they started believing that bitcoin will most certainly ruin their business. So they are not going to accept the profitability of bitcoin in public. Instead they will refer bitcoin as a bubble and speculation scam.

However, digital currency is the future of our economy. So no banks will have the power to ignore that. But I doubt they will ever recognize bitcoin, instead they will try to release new products on their own blockchain. The blockchain technology will certainly be used for better scale-ability and transparency, but not bitcoin most probably.

You can't say, a few don't even know what  bitcoin is, some know what bitcoin is and don't even bother about it. Banks only like the concept of block chain technology, and most of them think that bitcoin is a bubble just like the housing bubble asset of 2005. A few banks are starting to think about developing their own crypto currency but I guess most of them will take a few years to implement it. So bitcoin is never of main concern for them because they think bitcoin cannot replace banks no matter what.

Whoever said that banks think Bitcoin is a joke? Them not accepting Bitcoin is them taking it seriously. It's a threat, and they're treating it as such. They have been able to get away with it so far because Bitcoin users are still in the overwhelming minority, but there may come a point when they have to accommodate it.

The first adopters are more likely to be able to make massive amounts of money from it, and I'm sure if one of them caves, the rest will follow suit.

Many banks adopted and implementing blockchain technology to securing the banking.
Some months before Citi bank new york announce that they gonna implement the bitcoin payment as a deposit for the banking and they gonna implement new coin for them called citicoin. Swiss bank shows adoption interest to the bitcoin. Wait for some months.
They are not totally adopting bitcoin but just an alternative and those banks are just using blockchain technology for their own good and convenience not totally on using up bitcoin since you do mention that they are creating their own coin which it is already an expected thing to happen on those banks would do. They wont take bitcoin seriously but rather they would mind on doing their business which they can make money even more which is on creating their own coin instead.

2023 would most likely be as bearish as 2022
Bitcoin is decentralized no one controlling overthere. Bank is centralized one.. So if bitcoin accepted there need to be some modification.

Then they will accept

Right now they probably are. Jamie dimon took bitcoin seriously enough to release a public statement against it. They're likely wary of the capability of crypto especially now that its gaining popularity really fast

Yes exactly banks are not going to accept bitcoin as a major currency. Bitcoin is liked by its users that they got rid of the banks with bitcoin. Banks consider it a threat to them and as a whole to the financial/ banking system. Therefore banks don't support bitcoin as a currency, even at the time you convert bitcoin to fiat they will try to convince you to leave bitcoin.

Some institutions will eventually take cryptocurrencies seriously. In fact, the upcoming Segwit2x fork is being orchestrated by a group that includes former government and banking executives. They are seeing Bitcoin’s potential and want the fork to take control of Bitcoin. As they say, “money talks” and as people see how expensive a Bitcoin has become and how high the market cap is, they are starting to notice it and realize there is something to it. Now they want to take it over.

I hope this. But recently in my country there are several banks that have bitcoin atm's and I was so glad that they accept bitcoin as deposit and withdrawal money. i wish all local banks will take bitcoin seriously buy I doubt because those atm's have limited bitcoin to withdraw and to deposits.

Banks would only adopt the block chain technology in which bitcoin works and not the bitcoin in future.They treat it as their biggest rival ever.Bitcoin has become the worst nightmare for them.

If they adopt bitcoins,it would mean that they themselves are terming their traditional service as not good.They won't wat to spoil their revenues which they get from transactions.

If banks adopt bitcoins,then it would be as if they were spoiling their own identity and uniqueness.

And they would never and ever do that.

there were still banks that already approved bitcoins to use on  thier system, just like on our country here in ph. so i guess bitcoin will be
also accepted soon on some banks as long as more people are using it on that country although there are some reasons why banks are not yet accepting bitcoins because bitcoins are not yet popular globally  or they see bitcoin as a big threat to thier company.
