So much so that 15% of banks world wide expect to widely implement blockchain, which is a ledger of transactions updated in real time by various institutions, by next year, according to the report which surveyed 200 global banks.
These banks, mostly medium to large-sized institutions, are focusing their blockchain technology on three areas: consumer lending, retail payments, and reference data, which refers to the real-time information sharing of transactions across business divisions and institutions.
In four years, IBM says that 66% percent of banks expect to have blockchain in commercial production and at scale.
In my own opinion its just simple why i have to buy bitcoin now, because in my prediction or maybe this is the reality that i believe bitcoin will rise up in years to come.
Its not yet the proper time to buy bitcoins. There is an upcoming price decrease that will happen sooner and the best way is to stock your dollars and get ready for that event. It will happen when the Hardfork will be officially released and will cause a stir in the community and will cause some panic selling. When that time comes then it is best to buy bitcoin since that will be the time when the price of bitcoin will be at its lowest.
