It's a whole new world. Public and private chains galore!

That's true. Government will play a vital role to set the ball rolling. Will need to wait to check how they bring in policies for such currency in place. Will they give the nod to go ahead or will they curb it?

Running a bankchain does not mean anything when it comes to bitcoin.Block chain is an open technology and anyone can make use of it and it is not a big surprise that banks are taking a closer look into the new tech and it has nothing to do with the bitcoin .

Sorry but blockchains were invented by bitcoin.

Also there is nothing for banks to look at in the "blockchain tech" since it is only effective in decentralised scenario;
In a centralised scenario blockchains are worse ( slower and expensive) than traditional systems.
