read all of the bank announcements. they only deal with fiat directly. not bitcoins, not baked beans not gold.
if you want bitcoins go to an exchange/localbitcoins
if you want baked beans go to a grocery store
if you want gold go to a pawn shop.
if banks included bitcoins as on of their 'financial products' then regulation will own bitcoins
thanks for the reply. Understand that most banks are staying away from BTC. But
what if a Bank would offer such services, that is my question.
Edit: and I do mean a respectable, traditional Bank.
Banks will only start to offer BTC services if/when they can figure out a way to make serious money off of it. That, or if the market evolves so much that customers stop leaving certain banks that are not offering BTC services.
