> I would take any article like this with a grain of salt. There is not a lot of useful or technical information here, and I believe it is more designed as click bait and FUD to create shock value and hurt the public sentiment about Blockchain technology and investing in crypto currencies.

There's a wave of this sentiment lately— which is funny timing. Goldman Sachs apparently will have an operational cryptocurrency trading desk by the end of June.[0]

The TSX is slated to have a cryptocurrency brokerage desk with backing of the Bank of Montreal over the coming months sometime as well.[1] This came out days after BMO blocked all cryptocurrency purchases with consumer credit and debit cards.[2]

The more cynical side of me wants to guess that they're trying to establish a gatekeeping initiative. Knock everybody about, then when they want back in they have to come through you.
