I don't understand people who dismiss this news.  I mean, assuming you did not get completely out of the banking system once you acquired your first bitcoins, of course a bitcoin-friendly bank is a great news.

Between a bank that is not bitcoin friendly (or not even bitcoin-aware), and a bank that is, the second one sure is a better place where to have a bank account.  And usually people do indeed have a bank account, because unless you live on an island and have no social/economic life whatsoever, having a bank account is still useful nowadays.

My only hope now is that the initiative from Paymium and Bitcoin central will inspire other banks worldwide to do the same thing.
