The main reason (why banks don't like btc and other cryptos) is the loss of profits.
Transactions made via blockchain kills transactions made via banks.

But the topic is essential! It should be upped!

Obviously and it's true, transactions that have been done by bitcoin users do not go through the bank, obviously they know that the transactions are very large, they do not receive some of these benefits.
is it possible the bank will plunge to be able to complete and participate in bitcoin transactions, possibly of course there are, but there are obstacles that will be experienced by the banking of course. because of the difference of the transaction.

Bitcoin as a payment solution is a good opponent of banks. That's why the don't like Bitcoin. It also has an advantage of being a currency that any bank can not beat. So, most economists don't like Bitcoin both as a payment solution and as a currency. That's why they say Bitcoin is a bubble time to time... Embarrassed

It's being attacked by every single entity who has the ability and the motive, so yes.

People don't factor in how strong bitcoin is when they complain about it or consider its value. How can something so impervious to attacks have no or little value?

Isn't it obvious? They will attack BTC or any other cryptocurrency because it will take away the Banking System if crypto succeed. #Easy

And however the banks are closely related to the government, if indeed the country government assesses bitcoin could harm the country / disrupt the state's financial system, it would certainly be banned and would be support if it's indeed it couldn't harm to the country.

because Bitcoin is not under the control of banks.the banks don'tt like things that are not in the bank controls.

Aside from that bitcoin is the biggest competitors of the Banks, it was due to good and effective features of this crypto currency. Many people are attracted to invest in this coin instead of investing to other crypto currencies.
Moreover transactions using bitcoin is much easier compared to banks, that's why many people and users are patronizing that project.

I think its a gross generalization to say they are against bitcoin. They are against risk, and for protecting customer's money. That is the principle they were created to endorse.

They are working on their own solutions utilizing blockchain. For instance, they are using blockchain to wipe out SWIFT (the ultimate middle man) and to even create some of their own coins. Many of the biggest banks, including JP Morgan whose been the most critical publicly of exuberance and investment, has been working on Quorum, releasing a 2.0 version that is closely aligned with Ethereum.

They are being protectionist, and to some degree maybe overdoing it to underscore their own value, but banks are definitely working closely with the technologies to make sure they are part of this ecosystem as it unfolds.

Govt are affraid of losing financial control on money. As govt run by taxes and using digital payment system cuts down the taxes in my opinion and govt cannot trace transaction. In my opinion this is the reason.

That's why Bitcoin was created in order to run as opposite of what the banks do because Satoshi believed that through Bitcoin everyone would not put their money on the banks where the government can easily lock and tax their account and money without their consent and permission. Through Bitcoin you will see the transparency of every transactions that was made by every single person with the help of blockchain technology.

Simply because they knew the threat of bitcoins being on top of the line preferred by most people to invest in rather than putting all of their money in a bank account which earn a little fixed interest rate. And since bitcoins are not mandated by financial institutions and the government it is much easier to do transactions rather than banks.

Banks are not totally attacking bitcoin, some don't mind them some just don't care, but those who are in the Central banks are the one who does not like the idea of having a cryptocurrency since they have noticed that their transactions had affected by cryptos especially in trading/investing.

I’ve heard of some central banks who are open to the idea of cryptocurrency. This must have been the case because there has been a rising number of cryptousers within the area. They say that if you can’t beat them, you join them.

Not all banks have made actions toward crypto or bitcoin, and I don’t think that they would attempt to attack it. Most just don’t know what to do because they are not familiar with it and lack knowledge on the concept. They may feel threatened because it concerns their industry however banks won’t make any drastic moves toward bitcoin.

Day by day we are getting news like , this country reject bitcoin that country accept Bitcoin. Technically it stands a contrast perspective with the Central Bank and the economy of the country. But as I love BITCOIN , I pray Every single country will accept BITCOIN one day.

No Liabilities or debt with BITCOIN:

Bitcoin is a conveyor machine, meaning that there are no liabilities or debts associated with it. You can't get loan from it , or you can't get profit through interest. If you hold it, it’s yours. And as such, there can be no run on a “bitcoin bank.” It's Independent.

Bitcoin is considered as Fiat Currency :
Of course you can assume, holding bitcoin superior in many ways to holding fiat currency in a deposit account. Here Fiat currency are those which can not be backed by commodities . It has all the benefits without the risk of capital controls. Because of this, the growth of bitcoin is sucking value out of national currencies. The higher capital will rise the higher value it will get.

The Capital is really HUGE
I think there is now more than $70B worth of bitcoin sitting in bitcoin wallets.One thing to consider here , the asset is not under any management. So we can call it AUP (Asset Under Management ) , but we can call it Assets Under Protection (AUP). And here is where the risk to traditional banking resides. What does a world look like when a simple bitcoin wallet is indirectly protecting as much money as big giant companies , organizations like Bank of America or Fargo etc.

Wallet Becomes Bank
At that point that wallet becomes a bank, Haha , a newer form of bank with decentralized function, with different rules, operations, and monetization policy.

The Last Reason- PEOPLES LOVE BITCOIN
The real reason that banks should worry about People loves BITCOIN. People always love easy process, better stability and full control. All things are available in this case. Bitcoin actually threatens the bedrock policy and business model of Banks. That's why Banks are attacking Bitcoin.

I am trying to write good article and trying to research more to build good article. Really dreaming to get first MERIT. Thanks you guys. (Forgive me for any mistake) Cheesy

Banks are attacking bitcoin because Banks say Bitcoin and other currencies are by no means currencies because it has no real value, they are pure speculative objects, it's a bubble and it is dangerous, it has technical limitations for users, it could trigger substantial risks in the side of investors and potential risks in financial stability.

Their main concern atm is crypto as an instrument for money laundering and tax evasion. So in 2018 we will see more regulations for fiat-crypto gateways (exchanges and the like) to prevent anonymity.I don't think it is under attack.Many banks/governments are still in the state of evaluation.

I think it’s more than just money laundering and tax evasion which concerns them. I think they have noticed that many have profited largely through bitcoin, and this scares them because it is foreign and unfamiliar to them. They can't understand where all the money is coming from since they don't understand what bitcoin is. For them, it is unstable and it's not secure - which is the complete opposite of what banks are. As for now, banks are indifferent towards bitcoin and although they don't attack it directly, they still have an unsure position towards it.

Its normal and natural for banks to attack any financial system or any financial model that seems to make people remove their money from banks to partake in, especially if that financial system is not regulated like bitcoin. BAnd not just banks even governments are wary of bitcoin

Banks are regulated and Bitcoin is deregulated. Based on this to Banks, Bitcoins are illegible on line currency possible of being scammed no matter how secured or encrypted its wallet might be. So, Banks get to wander why people still believe and invest in it instead of securing/keeping their money in Banks which is of more importance to them. Secondly, how can Bankers secure employment if Bitcoin is now generally accepted, since they as middle men shall be abolished or reduced drastically.

You got some merits from me man! Cool

Actually this post do really have these strong points why banks don't really like bitcoin at all or doesn't really even recognized to be part of it because it do acts oppositely on what banks do offer. If people would able to find out on how does it works then its normal people will surely make use of it instead of banks but the thing we should always think of is on the risk involved which we see that it has higher risk than on putting your money simply on banks.

Here is also my some thoughts for the reason banks are totally not supporting bitcoin.
1. People investing in bitcoin has the big chance to earn big than in a bank.
2. Your money is sleeping in a bank in such a long period of time and only but making only a small amount of profit while investing it in bitcoin is more profitable.

Traditional banks will fall down if they let bitcoin to take the lead. But I doubt that there thing or someone that can stop it from reigning.

That's why bankers used to be the biggest money launderers for the mafia back in the day.

They are still doing so for large criminal organisations. It's impossible that without their help, billions and billions of criminal money each year ends up in the legal circuit, and these transactions come with very high commissions.

Banks are one of the biggest criminal entities ththemselves. They are looking to attract wealthy foreign clients, but have absolutely zero problems snitching on them by reporting their holdings to their tax agency.

Banks also help in financing wars, which basically makes them the worst possible scum on this plannet. I am glad that we have Bitcoin to be used as safe haven, and more people start to understand this as well.
