Bitcoin is a push not pull technology. Things like this could not happen.

the UK's faster payment system is exactly this, it works well and the recipient see's the money in seconds, which has been one less benefit of bitcoin over here. hense why its a struggle to promote bitcoin in the Uk to mainstream.

if america starts offering it, then you will see americans see bitcoin as less of a benefit. i believe the american banks may be trying to think of ways to keep people interested in institutional banking, so of course they wont mention bitcoin. they dont want to advertise the alternative which they are trying to prevent users from switching too.

it's definetly something american bitcoiners need to keep an eye on
