Yeah I know savings accounts suck right?
They maybe yield you 2% and in most cases 1% or less while inflation is at about 3%
Simply put savings accounts actually give you less buying power over time. So how the heck is someone in fiat suppose to get ahead?!
Well now LegerX has a regulated savings accounts that is tied to bitcoin. The expected annum return is about 16% a huge jump from that maybe 2% you might get in a traditional savings account.
How it works is the system mimics a call overwrite which means an investor puts money down and then sells it at a later date with a higher strike call. (Now seriously some times this shit to me sounds like pyramid scheme lol)
That being said these types of options that are regulated will be helping grow bitcoins value and make it more reliable in terms of price and adoption. These are early baby steps to where I believe we will be to grand adoption and $50,000 + per bitcoin by years end if regulations all go well and quickly.
Options are risky. If bitcoin goes down for years for whatever reason you will lose your deposit.
A good savings like account is available at BTCPOP. It is called instant account. Rates are variable currently at around 2%apr of BTC deposit. Funds are available on demand. Search Steemit for more in depth write ups or go directly to BTCPOP.CO

That does sound like a pyramid but so is Avon and Herbalife and they seem to be doing ok, it does sound very interesting though...

LedgerX is the way then, the 16% profit on savings is really great and would go a long way to help people who love to save. Thanks for the info

I'm sure 16% wont be hit but in very rare cases however it should be more then a traditional savings account

At this stage, 3 key aspects affect institutional adoption of bitcoin. 1) Regulatory uncertainty, 2) lack of custodial solutions, and 3) exchange issues (incl. market manipulation, lack of liquidity, pump&dump etc).
I think Bitcoin will clearly be the first one to get regulatory approval. With futures already listed & regulators almost in agreement that it is a commodity, all we need is to solve other issues acting as an impediment to institutional adoption.
There is also news from Consensus 2018 about a custoday solution from Nomura & Ledger and it is big, since a bank such as Nomura, already providing custody solutions in traditional financial markets, is a great name to have. Nomura has the right balance sheet, a crypto friendly govt in the country where it is headquartered and has earned trust from institutions. Bitcoin, being large is not exposed to manipulation & pump and dumps to the same degree as most crap coins. And with an institutional exchange and proper client coverage, based on the news from Coinbase, prices differences on irrelevant exchanges will not matter a lot. I believe smaller exchanges will start tracking a larger institutional exchange, if one is launched.
I can’t believe with such announcements, price is actually down. Anyway, we will not have to wait long for a bitcoin bull run or a bitcoin etf or financial market adoption of bitcoin. It is on its way and it will happen real soon, real fast!
