Hey.
Yesterday I read an article about banks that began to use blockchain and there was pretty impressive list.
They're also described successful cases of using blockchain in banks (if you're interested -
here's the article), so I may assume that using blockchain in bank's system is only a matter of time (and money, of course).
Now, the question: why it takes THAT long the smaller banks to go the same way and start using the blockchain?
Without legal using bitcoin as currency maybe we can't see banking industry in blockchain, many scammer cases using bitcoin and altcoin as investing make government very careful to adopt bitcoin and impossible without legalization bank industry with blockchain in some country, I hope next year have innovation with bank to adopt blockchain and member can saving bitcoin in the bank.
Without the approval of each government we cannot really have this future banking industry, and as of the moment, we cannot control what's on the mind of our government officials, but we can do our part to unite and to let them know its advantage and how blockchain could change the life of the currency system in the future.
We will still have many years to come to develop and for the adoption period, we just need to be patient as everything will be at its place soon.
