Isn't Xapo already a Bitcoin Bank? I've heard they will protect your coins in some cold storage computers shielded inside an underground bunker with security cameras and armed guards, sounds pretty cool.

if you think about it any exchange can be considered kind like a bank, if you hold money there, many are just less secure than others

banks are welcome only if they can offer a 100% secure investments with bitcoin..i'm talking about interest like with fiat

but this will surely bring, the already little portion of the bitcoin anonimity, down

There isn't anything 100% secure with fiat or with Bitcoin.
An exchange is like a bank, except they aren't fully regulated, which means once shit happens you are out of luck since the police is not going to care about it.
With fiat at least you usually should recover your money. But not always, look at Cyprus or the Andorra bank.
With Bitcoin I can trust myself. Storing fiat in your home is way more risky since you can't do backups.

yeah i know, i'm here because i hate bank, and i want to evade from them, no way i will deposit anything into them, unless they promise a very high interest or something

my talking was aiming at a general argument

bitcoin is putting the control of your money at your fully disposal, and then you go and deposit your coins in a bank? it does not make sense

i'm still waiting for fully anon implementation on bitcoin, so bank and taxex from gov, can fuck themlseves for good
