And they don't accept payment in bitcoins neither.
Clever people

Came across this text from wikipedia:
In May 2013, one bitcoin traded at around $125. Taking into account the total number of bitcoins mined, the value of the money supply of the bitcoin network stands at over $1.4 billion USD.
According to Reuters, undisclosed documents indicate that banks such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have visited Bitcoin exchanges as often as 30 times a day. Employees of international banks and major financial organizations have shown interest in the Bitcoin markets as well.
Well, if you're going to be trading bitcoins you now know who the market makers (manipulators) are.
That leaves very little to imagination. I can already visualize what a bank's balance-sheet will look like in the future:
Assets
┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐ Bitcoins
Liabilities
(◣_◢) Sub-prime Loans
Equity
┌∩┐ ┌∩┐
