This headline is a great "grabber" for older bankers and financiers. It implies that the whole "bitcoin thing" is finally blowing over, without going out and saying it. Music to their ears.

Bankers and financiers are nowhere near as worried about bitcoin as many bitcoiners seem to think.

Bankers and financiers has bigger things to worry about in 2016

I seriously doubt this is the case. Most bankers I know have regarded bitcoin with a keen curiosity rather than some kind of malignant threat.

It seems far more likely that you do not, actually. There are thousands of extremely intelligent people working in finance with a lot of domain knowledge -- in the case that something as widely publicized and easily studied as bitcoin is not being taken seriously in finance, it's far more likely that there are serious issues you don't understand.
