So many countries now were prohibiting the use of virtual cryptocurrencies. And to think that many unemployed individuals were beginning to uplift their way of living because of their dealings with cryptocurrencies. Banks doesn't expressly say why it is banning the use of Bitcoin.
What do you think is the reason behind this?
Bitcoin's Threat
The idea that bitcoin might be threat to established banking institutions was shared with CNBC by Rainer Michael Preiss, executive director, client investments, at Taurus Wealth Advisors, a Singapore-based family office. Preiss believes that cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin have a certain attractiveness given the lack of transparency in the banking system. For example, he says, the Federal Reserve has refused to allow an independent audit of its massive $4.5 billion balance sheet.
Potentially Disruptive to Banks
Possibly a more general fear among banks regarding bitcoin is "that it disrupts the need for a bank to intermediate transactions," writes Nick Bilton in Vanity Fair. Among its advantages versus banks, he says, is that "you don't need a driver's license" to open an account, and you don't pay account fees. Moreover, he adds, the blockchain technology behind bitcoin cannot be hacked, unlike bank accounts, making it a more secure store of value. Indeed, JPMorgan Chase is among the companies working on adopting blockchain technology for banking applications, per a report in Fortune.
