Its funny, I was chewing the fat with a banker friend of mine the other day, and I inquired about his thoughts on bitcoin along with how many customers ask the same questions on a weekly basis.  His management team has instructed their employees to never discuss Bitcoin with customers in the building.  When asked why, his manager said that it will be a dying fad and be gone by next year.

I asked if I could buy his boss lunch next year.  I plan on paying in Bitcoin =P
