Are Swiss banks buying Bitcoins?

10 pointsby telmichover 9 years ago
Hey HN!<p>I&#x27;ve been talking to some people here in Switzerland and they say that banks will begin to trade with Bitcoins.<p>For me this sounds great, as Bitcoin would become an &quot;accepted&quot; or &quot;proper&quot; currency and we (as a company) could accept it safely for selling our hosting.<p>I am wondering if anyone else heard about this?

Perhaps you heard about the blockchain technology banks want to implement for doing transactions between eachoter, sort of a replacement to SWIFT.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;R3_%28company%29" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;R3_%28company%29</a><p>If this is the case, this is not bitcoin, but a derived tech that the banks are thinking about using.

Swiss banks are notorious for conservatism, not bleeding edge tech. Perhaps Bitcoin&#x27;s time truly had passed. :)
