My bank is hosting a blockchain evening in March. After I laughed I&#x27;m now curious what they have to say.

I’m curious if the bank uses “blockchain” as in a centralized Ripple-style database or if they’ll be referring to distributed ledger technology. A huge difference between the two that newbies would not grasp.

Thanks a lot @exyle for informing us this news.
This is just the beginning, All banks were against crypto and blockchain.

Now they started to improve their services for customers and also started to think about improving their transactions and systems because they found all people went to crypto.

Now they started to host blockchain meetups and soon each bank and each company will create its own token as everything is going to be on blockchains soon.

I see a promising future :)

Thank you again for this news :D

It's funny but it hit the fact, sometimes when I ask my friends what do they know about btc, all there explanation is always going towards ponzi. But one thing I noticed is that they have not take there time to make research about it but keep on saying trash about it.

The craziest thing is that the people that say no to the blockchain, is now using the system fn the blockchain in Nigeria.
Take a look at this message I got after making transaction from my bank.

This GTcoin on the image can be accumulate to buy airtime and also exchange for real money.

To me it this is funny, but if they can be serious with it, it will end up being a crypto coin.

This is how it will happen.

if we can be making transaction and doing some other things to earn the Gtcoin, it is known as Mining.

Since the coin presently in the bank can be exchange for real money and airtime, then some people might start accepting it for payment, then the coin is now having value and the coin will increase in value price per one.

The coin will be as internal exchange In the country and the more the demand of the coin the more it the price value increases..

With this, people will like to hold on the coin and also invest on it, and with time it will fall on the crypto coinmarket.

This just my own though

There must be something in the wind today. My work had a talk about emerging tech that they will have to keep abreast of and in the short list one of them was Blockchain. It was less impressive when they tried to summarise it thought and got it totally wrong. Fascinating though your bank getting in on the action or at least talking about it!

I have been thinking for a while of the old saying "The time for NO has come and gone," when it comes to banks, governments and authorities vs. blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. With last year's boom making this a 1/2 trillion dollar industry, something tells me that we have seen a subtle shift towards banks now being curious about "how they can get onboard" in ways that allow them to participate while still remaining banks in some semblance of the way we know them.

Blockchain or not, cryptos or not, there will probably be a place for "retail banking" for some decades to come, and those banks that get in on combining the two NOW will be the long term survivors.

Just a thought, really...

abh12345 (76) · 7 years ago

The UK was thinking about it last year, but then BTC fell $14000 and they have gone back to 'researching' the topic.

Now BTC has gained $4000 again recently, it's being shunned because they missed the bottom, again:

https://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/921169/bitcoin-bank-of-england-cryptocurrency-mark-carney-brexit-EU

So in the next year or 2 when the markets are flying again, expect the research to conclude that it does make sense - and hopefully at this point, most of us will not have to care what the Banks' opinion is!

exyle (79) · 7 years ago

I agree with you. Old school banking is here for a while longer. We are in between two worlds at the moment (and probably more at the beginning side of things). Ignoring the tech is foolish, combining will be the way to go indeed.

Well i think banker's won't like cryptos and especially the bitcoin but in my opinion we all want freedom we are born free and this is our right to live free as well why we deposit our hard earned money to those banks and then they start controlling our money and we are no longer in a condition of use it freely, we have a far better option available now to save our money in shape of cryptos and by doing this we also have a full control in our funds no middle man use our funds for his own sake, the future of cryptos is so bright and we surely see more developments and growth in cryptos with the passage of time, wish you all the best in all of your future endeavors! friend, Stay blessed

But whatever the case, we'll never know till you report back. We are waiting.

neokuduk (58) · 7 years ago

At first, I laughed. Wasn't this blockchain thing suppose to pop like a balloon not too long ago?

There are still people in social media who have say something like this. Amazingly really.

'Dangerous thing', 'balloon' etc. :)

Before 2013, I had heard of Bitcoin and brushed it off like the dumbest thing in the world.

But when I actually took the time to look into it, it blew my mind.

I just can't remember why I once thought it was shit.

Do not be angry please, but I laughed too much in this part. :-) I wish I had heard it, and I thought it was shit. :D But I have never heard about it until last year maybe. 🙈

Anyway, I forgot what I would say at last :) I am waiting your bank's reply. Please share with us :)

cwise009 (47) · 7 years ago

Unfortunately I don't see it going too well, but that's the cynicism in me speaking.

I believe that they will speak favorably about blockchains in general. However they will only speak positively about a centralized blockchain they can profit off of. They'll say things like "if you use this payment system that is powered by our blockchain, ACH and hefty wiring fees will be a thing of the past!" Who knows, they might even give you a higher savings interest rate. And you know for sure they'll have ATMs and direct fiat to coin purchases set up.

However when someone asks about bitcoin and how they compare, you'll hear the same unregulated, way too volatile argument as usual. They might even throw in the coinbase fiasco and exchanges are ticking time bombs so it's best to talk to their esteemed financial advisors about how you should handle their coin. So please put it on DLive for all the hilarity that will ensue.

TL:DR Our offering is "good", competition's offering is "bad". Invest in us today!

We See it more and more, also companies gave a learning session about blockchain and crypto. I think it is always good to inform more and more people, even if it is bank relaxed.

They tried being against cryptocurrencies. They tried every method and are trying every method to curtail the growth of crypto. Doing this they looked like desperate losers. Right now i think this is a damage control that they are doing. Or perhaps may be worse. Mat be they are trying to do something sinister.

Looks like they have found that most of the people are looking into crypto because of blockchain technology. So, may be they are trying to make some attempts to separate block chain from crypto currencies and make people start hating the cryto currencies technology while suggesting that they love block chain technology.
