That's true. Maybe something to do with regulations then? HSBC is already being accused of being involved with money laundering quite a lot. Also, what other coins except BTC have market cap >1T?

I suspect regulation (or fear of impending one) is the likely culprit; but again, not sure. Re: size -- I was including regular fiat currencies, not just digitals.
