I hear it all the time. Bitcoin/crypto is alternative to fiat. And almost every token philosophy is based on this premise.

The question: can cryptocurrency beat legacy financial institutions to the point of replacing them?

... Thought as much... The much lauded JPMCoin was all noise and no substance. But can an accident happen to make legacy institutions catch up to the decentralized world?

in my opinion it will not happen because the bank is the regulator of all of the government and indirectly the bank will slowly use or adopt the economic system used by the crypto currency

It seems very unlikely for this bitcoin to replace the bank in terms of storing assets that we have because the bank of an official institution that has security is quite strict and already has considerable trust from the community, the bank is a pretty good place of investment or investment for our society  this

Never. BItcoin and banks are two different subject that you can't compare same as oil and water. Even though Banks really hate Bitcoin but they can use its feature and technology such as Blockchain to make their security become safer that being use with lots of banks nowadays.

The question: can cryptocurrency beat legacy financial institutions to the point of replacing them?

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have generated significant interest, their adoption rates are minuscule and government support for them is virtually nonexistent. Until governments recognize Bitcoin as a legitimate currency, it has little hope of killing off banks any time soon. Banks across the globe are watching and studying Bitcoin. It is more likely than not that banks will one day issue digital currencies of their own.
Definitely, Bitcoin aren't against the banks nor banks are also against with bitcoin. It is just a misunderstanding of the people around, I know some banks are supporting ICO before and even successful with their project. May this market integration will help both parties to grow and makes them become successful of their targets and goals.

I don't think will happen, the bank will still be, because also governments wants banks, is the way how they control money and they know faster how much money are on market and how much money are in a bank. Only if governments will want that banks to dissappear and adopt crypto then crypto will replace banks, but this will not happen in my opinion.

So far it is, we can see that what the government can offer are the things that the people accepted, but as we can see, Bitcoin is not just for some random stuffs such as investment, it is for a lifetime, a new form of transaction, just like in vegas casino we can do betting with the use of bitcoin without even minding going to casino. This is how the Bitcoin works, how it can help us in the future.

Bank is there I think more century because this is very helpful to the all of people in the world to keep their money safe . I don't think bitcoin beats banks in the future. I really like both because bitcoin can gives me profit and once I convert my money into fiat I will transfer to the bank to keep it safe for my future so better to be partnership with banks and bitcoin and I hope that happen

To defeat the bank I think it will be difficult, because the bank is an institution that is regulated by the government, but bitcoin can be an alternative payment method.
Not all banks after run by governments though. There are privately owned banks as well, whether the politicians influence them is another topic. Bitcoin was created to be an alternative so you are correct there.

Although people see bitcoin as something that will disrupt banks that wont happen so easily. The thing is that banks would also find alternative methods to counter a bitcoin economy by themselves taking up a pro-bitcoin attitude and stance and then the tables would turn. This is still random thinking but who knows how it is going to happen. Hence it better to not think about it but stock up on bitcoin while prices are still low.

I did not think until there but it is likely that it will never happen that crypto will replace a financial institution even though crypto itself has the potential for that, but crypto and future banks will be able to walk side by side to help each other, there are already many banks that have used blockchain technology as we know that the technology is very attached to cryptocurrency.

If you need a loan to borrow money to buy a house, Bitcoin won't help
If you need to open a saving account/wallet, even with a low %, Bitcoin won't help.
If you need to buy stock options, Bitcoin won't help
If you need to invest in managed funds, Bitcoin won't help.

These are just a few cases Bitcoin won't be able to help and we will always need a bank. Better to consider BTC as an alternative and not a pure replacement. Unless banks add BTC to their system

I don't think there will be anyway related to this issue but if any happen then it will be legendary. I mean bitcoin and banks both possess the greatest concepts of money making and controlling and they are responsible for balancing an economy (bitcoin helped many third world countries to balance their economy). none the government will accept bitcoin of course but still, I support bitcoin and hate banks.

Does Bitcoin have banks though, it has exchanges and gambling establishments which are the two main sources of BTC on demand.   The main people demanding seem to be hackers trying to break in and force a withdrawal due to the immediate and virtual nature of the establishment its very enticing to do so.

Im not sure BTC otherwise offers services in the same way a bank might with that cliche image of a vault and so on.   Even while banks have modernised somewhat in recent years and innovated its still going to be that BTC is something else.   Closest idea I come to saying quickly would be along the lines of crowd funding I guess, thats distributed but a united funding effort

I believe the two in comparison are different operations

The only leverage banks have over Bitcoin is the fact that they are state-owned, or private with strong political ties. As long as Bitcoin's decentralized community expands it might one day achieve the reputation of the incumbent banking system, without inheriting its corruption.

The existence of banks, especially state-owned, is not in danger. Banks are in fact part of the state, since they serve the financing of the economy of each state and therefore are under reliable state protection. Cryptocurrency does not threaten the existence of banks, but even if threatened, the state would quickly eliminate such a threat. The state has plenty of leverage for this, many people do not underestimate it and are confident that the cryptocurrency will do whatever it pleases with the financial system of the states. Far from it. Cryptocurrency will always exist only as one of the types of cashless payments and will go only in parallel with the national currencies of the states.

Bitcoin won't be able to beat a bank, never will.
the blockchain might be able to but not replace the bank, only replace the system, the speed and accuracy of the blockchain system which is now being developed in various banks in the world and will be implemented.
Bitcoin is only an alternative for fiat (we claim that but not everyone agrees) but is not official as a payment service in every country in the world.

I believe that banks are already a little worried about their reputation.  Because bitcoin is much functional banks.  Because it is easier for them to cooperate with him than to contradict.
Any institution will always be worried about its reputation and thus attempt to do things to increase it. Traditonal banks are no exception. They detest bitcoin but in reality that will always be a supporter or bitcoin in the dark. They know the potential in bitcoin and they dont want that price rise to go to waste. Even if it might seem conflicting still its what is is.

Why people stould be worried is that these banks can and are currently doing mass collection of crypto at low price. The competition is rising.

Not sure they are as worried as you might think, tho I do believe the existence of decentralized currencies pose a threat to financial systems, however, the reverse is also true. But there's a growing interest to use blockchain in streamlining banking processes, and I do believe that's not without studying the profound success of the blockchain - Bitcoin.

I dont know if bitcoin can beat banks but i trust that bitcoin is a serious alternative to the financiaș services offered by banks and everybody fears of such competitivity.
