I don't think so that bitcoin can make banks disappear as many countries don't recognise or even legalise bitcoin so bitcoin making banks disappear would be very hard

Think in this way. Though bitcoin is not legalized in most countries, it has grown high with its enormous potential. So anything could happen. None can assure that bitcoin replaces bank, only the ongoing adoption in terms of users and adoption of technology just paves way to go mainstream similar to banks.

Bitcoin won't disappear so easily, because so many users bitcoin is currently . i believe that someday many countries will accept bitcoins.

i think the question raised is "Can bitcoin make bank disappear"?, and you answered  that no one can make bitcoin disappear Tongue Yes bitcoin have importance in the online market but there are still many countries who don't know about bitcoin. So it is difficult to make bank disappear because people have more trust on banks.

I strongly disagree with what the expert says. We still need bank because business borrow money from them as well as ordinary people to purchase their home or even a car. Bitcoin would only be a type of currency that we use to buy.

and i hope someday, bank will accept deposit using bitcoin with i-dont-really-care method and algorithm, or maybe they will making they own coin, when all people start using it and talk about it.

No because some people will still use banks..,maybe in the near feature they will adopt the technology behind Bitcoin

They are already having some interest for adopting bitcoin for their services. But even though they will adopt it or just kind of interest that they will give to bitcoin still bitcoin doesn't has right to completely make the banks disappear. It is hard to do so as it is being followed and regulated by the government.
Banks can't adopt with bitcoin but what they are doing is they make a bitcoin like system, bitcoin is decentralized while bank can never be. Making their own would not attract people to adopt because we know that once centralized, we are being controlled and we do not want that as we always want freedom in life and for our transactions that cannot be spied by authorities.

will not happen in my country because theres a lot people confident with the old style.. they dont give a trust about online wallet thing
so.. i think bank will not disappear Wink

Even over here, I dont see it happening because even with the banks that have stayed with us for ages quite a sizeable me members of the population have not been able to be captured into the banking sector sector not to talk of coming with a different payment system in its entirety. Where do we even start from? From the enlightenments to the provisions of internet to transact which is definitely not cheap... The will just continue to accommodate each other...

Pretty sure you havent read anything here neither the topic.
Bitcoin has potencial to grow, but it wont be enought to replace the fiat system, banks or any others companies services. Bitcoin has bringed inovation and returning the power to the people as in the past before banks exists. Banks does provide services that bitcoin are far away to be able to offer, im talking loans, people does buy their houses and pay for 40 years period, who would be insane to lend their bitcoin over 5-30 days knowing its potencial to grow over time?
Great point Cheesy. That is one of the factors why bitcoin cannot replace or make banks disappear because bitcoin lack in features like giving opportunity to take loans like the banks does. Bitcoin and banks will stay and we cannot stick to just one of them because that will be hard for us to earn or take loans easily. Just use them both because they have their own uniqueness.
Loaning business is not only catered by the banks, there are also legitimate lending firm in this world where we can take loan passing their requirements, I believe banks are here to accept deposits and safeguard our money more and that can be done in bitcoin where we can put our money in our wallet while watching it grow at the same time.

I do agree with you, but those firms rates as i know are very high, and people only use them when they had already a bank problem into repaying some loan, atleast is what they do advertise at the media, tv. Bitcoin is no way near to replace anything, banks does control and rule the countries, since them are used to pay almost all salaries of the workers people, even politicians does use banks to get their payment as well make their investments.

It seems that experts say that Bitcoin 'Here to Stay,' But Banks Could Disappear.
The best example for this is people have started using bitcoin as a mean of receiving and sending money over the internet, and I think many will do so as bitcoin becomes omnipresent, banks will start adopting bitcoin because everyone thinks that it is the future of money.

It means banks will disappear or banks will change themselves as bitcoin banks.

Definitely bank will become fluid and adopt Bitcoin to their advantage.  Don't forget behind this banking system are people who are knowledgeable about finance system and tweaked it according to their advantage.  This only means that banks despite of popularity of Bitcoin will remain as bank but with modified system having bitcoin within it and gain much advantage.
Of course that banks they will use bitcoin to their advantage, I mean take for example Nettler who has recently started adopting bitcoin as a way to fund your account balance, and they take a lot of fee on a transaction you make from it, so that way they get bitcoin from users free.

But regardless banks can’t adopt bitcoin unless the world accept it as a payment method which I don’t see governments doing so in the near future.

People always need banks. Bitcoin might really be a nice currency and banks might really make a copy of its technology.
What banks can offer us now, they can still do it in the future. Despite of the reality that bitcoin is surging now, we still gonna use bank in the future as bitcoin is always dependent on the value of fiat. They had to eliminate the government to make bitcoin an independent currency which I think will never happen.

I completely agree. Everyone seems to forget that the most important thing a bank does is convert one valuable thing, an ability to generate income over time (ex. a company with good products or a man with a good job), into another valuable thing, money, by giving them loans (new money with fractional reserve banking).

Bitcoin alone cannot do this. We need banks to judge the credibility of the business or the men that want this new money.

By the way, banks can do this with Bitcoin using fractional reserve banking as well. We'd get checking accounts denominated in Bitcoin. This is exactly the same as a Spanish bank in Spain allowing you to open a checking account denominated in dollars. With many such accounts, they would only keep a fraction of their liability in dollars. Fractional reserve banking again.

If the use of the bitcoin in massive certainly could, but whether in the near future? It seems not, it took a long time so that bitcoin is known and used by many people.

"TheStreet: How do you think FinTech will impact the way banks operate?

Frank Schwab: Banks either react on, or they will disappear. Anyway, the consolidation of the banking industry accelerates as the behaviour of people changes. Some banks will benefit from [FinTech], some will be pushed to the back end, and some will disappear."

It's not they don't have the confidence to use it, the main hindrance to adoption is they do not understand bitcoin because most of them have no business using bitcoin. Especially old people, they are resistant to changes, they want the old school.
