So why arent big banks supporting Bitcoin yet? Well according to a tweet from the Commonwealth Bank, we just might see it in the future.
...
This might just be the Commonwealth Banks social media team being nice and doing its job, but its not absurd to think that a big bank could get involved in the Bitcoin game in future, is it?
Even conversations I have had with senior Commonwealth Bank executives demonstrate that the bank is certainly aware of Bitcoin at a decision-making level, so whats stopping it from being here tomorrow?
...
Either way, we have asked the Commonwealth Bank about their position on Bitcoin and will update you when we hear back.
With over 700Billion in assets - this is a pretty big bank. I think this is just a polite tweet - nothing more... so yes, for now I'm pegging this as absurd!
