Such a patent application is not evidence of JPMorgan building anything, only that they feel that the ability to stop someone else from building it could be worth a few bucks.

Thus is the patent.

Just another bullshit linkbait headline.

There's nothing being built here and nothing different from a dozen existing electronic peer to peer payment networks. (Venmo, PayPal, Dwolla, Square Cash).

Or more worryingly patenting any potential improvements upon bitcoin, limiting its expansion.
