You see a problem I see opportunities for banks to have regular (insured) current account linked to bitcoin payment system giving the consumer the option to pay using bitcoin direct from their current account if they so wish.

Imagine a consumer instead of withdrawing €50 at an ATM with their debit card and then going for a drink in the pub. Instead settling their tab at the pub (or paying by waving their phone) using their phone with a bitcoin app

And they couldn't do this with a credit card and Google Wallet/Apple Pay/Softcard, because?
