No, banks are already thinking into some way to use bitcoin technology to save them a lot money over their inside transactions. Bitcoin isnt a real problem for banks, they provide a usefull thing the loans for over 2 years up to 50 years, the max period you will lend your coins will be for maybe 2 weeks with colateral. Besides those the world economy does use banks, and they wont change it at all, soo bitcoin isnt a problem to banks at all, even with some people using it, the money will return to banks in the end.
What you're saying is true because people will also exchange btc to fiat in order to buy things that can only be bought by means of fiat money. But what everyone saying here is what if many countries began accepting btc as a payment ( as we all see they began regulating btc ), and what if many people are using btc let's say 60% btc 40% fiat currency, I wonder if the banks will accept the fact that btc is the new age and they will bought a lot of btc in order to replace their money into digital currency which I think if they don't do some companies will begin launching other cryptocurrencies banks and the older banks will fade, which I think this will have a lot of contradictions regarding fiat to cryptocurrencies to Central banks and to online banks and to government and it's people who use cryptocurrencies. This will be a long haul of hearings and New laws will be implemented in the payment system of cryptocurrencies.

Your assumptions are valid but it is far from happening anytime soon because our financial industry, which banks are in, are regulated by the government and they can control and implement policies for the thriving of these banks.
Partially agreed with you because the business commitments will have to be monitored by banks and if there is chance of to disappear the banks then there will be very strong objections in legalizing the bitcoin currency in devoting countries. And to convince them to use bitcoin for their business it will take a lot of time and therefore we need to convince them gradually so that they can bitterly know about it.

Banks will start wars between countries, races, religious to obtain more power, let alone what they would do for not losing their existince. Unfortunately, they will always exist.
You are right they change many lives and systems just for survival and kills thousands of innocent peoples they can do every thing because they are controlling all things around us many small countries are cannot survive without them and bitcoin is not going to compete with them

Without banks there will no regulatory body that will control the circulation of money which is the main thing we need to buy bitcoin.

That's just the case right now. But if the money (fiat money) was gone, it's alright because bitcoin doesn't depend on it at all. We just use fiat money to put value on bitcoin because fiat money is the leading monetary system right now. If, for example, there's another money called xCurrency and it's the leading one. Then bitcoin's price will be based on that but if both fiat money and xCurrency disappears, it's totally alright with bitcoin. The prices of things will just be based on the bitcoin.

If you are worried that you can't have bitcoins anymore because all fiat are now invalid, you should know that it's your fault because you trusted fiat as a store of value. You could have bought gold, at least. Either way, you can still sell your possessions to get bitcoins.

I don't think bitcoin can make banks disappear. People will always need banks. For credit cards, for mortgage, for many kinds of credit like vehicle credit, education credit, agriculture credit etc... and also many people use them for the safety of their money. They don't want to save at home. They prefer banks. Banks also have interest which is a good income for many people.

Basically no, because bitcoin and banks is very different thinks in its cores but the competition between them serves the people

Competition. Do you think we could compete with banks who are being hold by the government or of course their on that side.
Bitcoin users will need something to give out to those crocodiles if we want it to change.
Without tax or any payment that will be dealt then there will be no change.
Banks will stay and bitcoin will also do.
But in terms of which should stay in case there is something to be chosen. Banks will win.

They, both bitcoin and banks, should not be look at a competition to win over the other and eventually eradicating one over the other. Bitcoin should be looked at as a good alternative for payments that accept bitcoin as one of the modes of payment.
Yeah i agree with you, we don't need to look at bitcoin as a competitor of the banks but a unique kind of money and also alternative for banks. Bitcoin is not yet stable so it is not like full secured currency so we need to still diversify our money both in bitcoin and banks so the risk is not high enough to make us to lose something. Bitcoin and Banks should work together and not to compete to each other so we can have a brighter feature of financial system.

I don't think -even with bitcoin flourishing- that banks will disappear, banks will always be on top of the economical chain and that would be the primary option of the people, many people will start using bitcoin, but as a secondary one, as banks are also important for businesses and for lending (which is the fuel of economical development) and bitcoin offer no solution to replace that.

Bitcoin will be tough competitor for banks but it will never make banks disappear as banks are the strongest financial institutions who have support from Government and also from the people as majority of people are dependent on banks for their financial transactions.

When and why bitcoin become a competitor of banks? Even if bitcoin become one, it has no chance. Banks are used by the people on the entire world, everybody knows it and most of us have our own accounts. Bitcoin is just a digital currency known by not so many people, almost all of the people in the world uses money or fiats, they keep it in the banks, bitcoin is not a bank.

If bitcoin can really be a competitor of banks - those  are only in so far as online transactions and other transactions where bitcoin can be use. Those transactions like car loans, house and lot loan, and other transactions that are only be made through banks and not on bitcoins.

Banks (which are the core of the current world financial system) won't disappear, because they serve a big need for depositors (interest) and loaners (funding), peer 2 peer lending still has a long way to go and banks lending system works now, so it is not replacing banks anytime soon.

Maybe that can truly happen if bitcoin will be advertise and legalize in many nations. Because people will think about the advantage of using bitcoin to let their money grow rather than putting it in the bank to save it. Because bank offers a minimal interest to top up the original money you put into it. If you will sum up, your account in bank is just gaining cents or small amount compared to bitcoin. But the possibility that banks will disappear is quite long distance from now. Banks will surely adopt and evolve to the demands of the society for them to be able to continue their business.

For me, that is really far from happening because banks are already institution to our financial industry and they are well regulated by the goverment and bitcoin is not yet. Also, bitcoin has a maximum cap of I believe 21 million bitcoin and that is it.
Without banks there will no regulatory body that will control the circulation of money which is the main thing we need to buy bitcoin.
We should not be thinking for that, it's too unrealistic, bitcoin will help the banking system improve and not to replace it.

Actually yes, bitcoins can makes Banks disappear but not for today because however bitcoins is still new in world of currencies, bitcoins still not be considered as money in the world and still there is problem on bitcoins network to be currency, i think in the future after many people adopt bitcoins, that will makes Banks disappear because of bitcoins.

nope, banks are not going to disappear., not everybody uses bitcoins and banks are here to stay same as bitcoin is here to stay., they both have their own advantages over one another.,
banks may have to adapt to bitcoin like network for money transafer from one country to another and to lower the costs ., but they will not completly disappear. average joe needs bank too.

I actually read this topic a few months ago, and I want to reassure you that banks will not disappear until the common currency disappears and that this will not happen. Btc is simply a digital currency. In addition, the government will not let the banking system disappear easily
I think the banks will not disappear because if the governments are going to legalize bitcoins then they will have to upgrade the banking systems according to bitcoin transactions. Every country will have bitcoin banks where they will have monitor and guide the business transactions such as sale and purchases. There must be proper system for such thing and then we can make bitcoin more popular in a very very short period of time.
Yes, in theory, everything its best or faster if its centralized, like the human brain, the devs of cryptocurrencies, especialy of the bitcoin, its very descentralized, and the banks can upgrade before the devs of cryptocurrencies.
