The saying, " If you cannot beat them, then join them is becoming obvious in the near future as haters like big banking groups, Government regulatory agencies and old business thinkers are beginning to understand that to take out cryptocurrency requires more than creating fud and calling bitcoin fraud or other sort of techniques to create unneccessary uncertainty in the market. This is evident in Jamie Redman news update in bitcoin news titled "Dutch Bank That Once Called Bitcoin ‘High Risk’ Considers Building Crypto-Wallet"
Rabobank Investigates the Idea of Introducing a Cryptocurrency Wallet to Its Online Banking Environment
This week the Dutch institution, Rabobank, the second-largest bank in the Netherlands in terms of total assets revealed it may introduce a cryptocurrency wallet called “Rabobit.” The wallet idea is one of 22 concepts introduced in Rabobank’s internal Moonshot acceleration program. At the moment the idea is to host a cryptocurrency wallet that’s tethered to the company’s online banking environment. Rabobank says right now company employees are researching the benefits and risks tied to implementing a digital currency wallet.

More so, interestingly in this same report, "Rabobank Recently Declared Customers Who Trade Bitcoins ‘High Risk’"
Just recently Rabobank warned that customers who trade bitcoins using their accounts were dealing with certain risks. Further, account holders who trade cryptocurrencies would be classified as “high risk” customers.
“Bitcoins are considered to be risky products. Customers who trade in high-risk products can have a higher risk profile. It is conceivable that companies that deal with cryptocurrencies are seen as too risky and can therefore not be accepted as a customer,” Rabobank stated on February 2.
quote
*Ownership and value transfer are completely anonymous and evade supervision by third parties, such as a government. Which means that cryptocurrency does not meet the highest standards of compliance set by Rabobank.
*unquote
Even though the bank representatives state there is no official decision to introduce the wallet just yet, it seems the company is changing its mind about cryptocurrencies, and may be friendlier toward the technology in the near future.
From the above, it is obvious that Rabobank's management now understands the need to join the winning team early and support bitcoin and cryptocurrency rather than warn customers against crypto and the disruptive technology it brings. Good enough their strategy of creating Fud is becoming old school and does not deter hardcore crypto enthusiasts from investing more in crypto. More so since crypto is backed by strong growing community, it is becoming evident to them that bitcoin, steem , ethererum, elyte and other decentralized cryptocurrencies are here to stay as such, since they cannot win them, the only option is to join them before it is too late.
The question is do you think that most banks should start buying the idea of creating crypto wallet. What are your own thoughts on this? Send in your comments, retweet and follow for more. Do also please upvote to show support if you like this post.

Yes you have put an valid point, i am hoping that people will understand the Cryptocurrency market properly and also we have to keep an eye on the latest news regarding Cryptocurrencies because one small speculation can leads to selling of Cyptos due to lack of knowledge. And in my opinion, for now the biggest enemy of Cryptocurrency market is Speculations.

yes speculation is it but since cryto is relatively new to many speculations will still drive the market until most folks gets used to the historical perspectives and understand the market more which will bring better stability. but speculations is part of the game like the stock market. thanks for the comment

It seems like the bank/crypto situation today is quite similar to the news paper/internet situation in the 90s and early 2000s. The established institutions believed so much in their old system that they forgot that the main problem a publisher solved, was distribution of media, not the media creation itself. This is why the internet was a great challenge for banks. Similarly, cryptocurrencies replace the purpose of a bank. While the situations aren't equal, I believe banks today show the same mentality and resistant of change, as publishers did back then. If we are to assume the future based on the past, it makes sense that some banks will adapt cryptocurrency, similar to how some publishers started making online newspapers. In the end online newspapers ended up as very essential, yet still hard to profit from. Maybe that implies that cryptocurrencies will win and banks will follow, but the banking industry won't be as profitable as it is today?

Sure they will not be raking in billions of profits at the expense of the public little wonder why most of they pay billions of fines in lawsuites bcos of their frauds. With Crypto, power goes back to the people meaning less servitude and to raise funds with genuine intentions, crowdfunding is coming up through ICO's although many dubious folks are taking advantage of this option as I highlighted in my ICO post.
