Hello! What's your opinion could BTC kill banking system? Bitcoin has an advantage over fiatbecause its amount is limited and it can't fall under inflation.Inflation usually is caused by monetary policies of our central banks. Bitcoin is free from inflation, governement control and high transaction fees.Banks can’t control BTC because it has no representative and is fully decentralized. That's why banks are afraid of BTC.
Banks may survive if they join the exchange and crypto financing business, AND switch to full reserve practices when dealing with Bitcoin, etc.
That said banks will have to shrink. They have to, so they can remain alive. There is simply no need for so much banking once people become aware of Bitcoin.
I have the feeling that Bitcoin can trigger the world to a move to the Austrian school of economy, this is what current banks need to face reality about. Most of their existence is due to the fractional reserve legalized Ponzi scheme, and this is going to go.
Before Bitcoin, they could have continued with the Chicago school practices, stimulating people and nations to get in debt and live paying their debt with a permanent inflation as the way they believe economy growths, and fractional reserve money, money that doesn't exist anyway amounts to 90% of that which is the cause of bubbles in the first place.
When they become aware that money won't lose value anymore, and that in fact may even gain some, they enter in panic. They neglected the Austrians and now they see no future or are very scared. The genie is out of the bottle though.
Yes the economy growth has to slow down, but its better to have steady growth than the permanent roller-coasters of bubbles and crashes. Austrian economy growths from the savings of people, not debt and its credit expansion (euphemism for: "more money that doesn't exist anywhere").
You have to study fractional reserve banking to understand the implications of this, and preferably the Austrian school of economy, to get a picture of the future.
Banks are no longer needed, they are optional now. Know your place.
