1 word => That's impossible.

Banks will forever be there, they're not going anywhere.


I believe that also, but I think there would appear a bank for bitcoins. Bank bitcoin maybe not just digital bank, but physical bank either
like other bank the usual way we are using and know it.
Banks won't disappear and will be always there as long as there is a cycle of economy in the world.

The chance that it will happen is really small and that is that many people are still dont even know how Bitcoin works so that is the problem.
If it will make it disappear than Bitcoin have to be really popular so there will be also more people that have to promote it so more people can get to know about it.

Banks will not dissapear anyway and everybody know it. Bitcoin can't compete banks, it's just need to evolve to start. When bitcoin will grow we will see what happen.
But I believe now itself we can predict the future of bank based on the evolution of bitcoin. People will slowly start forgetting about using bank when bitcoin enters into mainstream of adoption. So, definitely bitcoin will compete with bank and also will definitely will win that race.
You are right. Bitcoins will definitely overcome bank by giving people an easy banking system within their mobile phones. Yes! people will get all the functionalities of real banking system within their mobile bitcoin wallet.

It's not about being faith in banks.

It's just a matter that bitcoin can't really touch all those people even they like to use it as bitcoin can only be accessed online since it's digital currency.

Dollar (Cash) is the same way.  The Bank only holds a small percentage of cash on hand at the bank. Everything else is digital.

People with no internet or smartphones use cash every day, don't know or care how banks store their money. Many of them never set foot in a bank, get paid in cash -> spend that cash. It works.

I was just about to write the exact same thing. My opinion is the same.

Yeah that is not possible ever, people need banks, businesses needs banks for their business transactions and they will need in future too even bitcoin gets on the mainstream.

I believe banks could offer a bitcoin payment service or savings but i doubt they will support it as the countries in general are against bitcoin because it being decentralized and not regulated.
We cannot say now itself that bitcoin will not disappear banks. But already many merchants are avoiding bank system for their routine payment by adopting bitcoins payments. So every common people will decide their own convenient risk-free payment system in future. So, I too doubt about the survival of banks.

Why is that impossible? You should at least try to offer a somehow reasonable explanation for your claim. In historical perspective, banks are a quite new invention. We have thousands of years of human history without banks.

I think it's possible that banks might cease to exist in their current form. If Bitcoin and decentralized networks succeed at large scale their function as centralized custodians of deposits and loan creditors might become obsolete, because these functions can be solved via cryptography and p2p-networks with much less friction. At least their earning stream from these traditional activities will run dry. Maybe they will become financial insurance companies, that offer insurance against theft by hacking or against data loss.

ya.ya.yo!

I thought it could not. for now. This is a stupid thing. bitcoin is a currency which could possibly be an option to bank deposits if one day it happened? nothing that requires two fought ?

I don't think this will very happening, it may happen for some instance but percentage of this to be happening is very poor. Banks would rather choose to the fiat money because people used to it. And it has been use for a very long time.

Exactly, people have more faith in banks and fiat currency, and they will continue to use it in future too as any digital currency cannot replace banks so easily.

Right now people believe and have much faith upon banks , as people were not much aware of the bitcoin and the digital currencies that's been used in most countries. Soon situation might change when adoption goes high.

It's not about being faith in banks.

I think bitcoin was unable to make the bank because the bank lost an important institution in the world economy

People will prefer to use both in future, as both have their own advantages, if a person needs a loan in emergency then only bank can help him.

There is potential here, but getting rid of all the banks? No they are too powerfull although i see it happening that banks will go bankrupt since more users will avoid them.
But since banks sell services like mortgages, insurancies etc. They where will be a place for them.
There is now way that all banks will go simultaneously bankrupt. And even if some of them will suffer from some future economic crisis new banks will emerge from the ashes.
Economy can't stand void. And I am sure that society is not ready to get rid of banks in the first place.

As my understanding of Bitcoin matured, I began to saw this 'replacement' scenario more and more unlikely, Banks will use Blockchain tech to make a new settlement system between themselves, with a little bit of luck, Bitcoin will remain relevant by then.
There is a strong movement of Bitcoiners (especially pundits, thinkers, and other Cryptographers) that began a campaign to claim that Bitcoin is the one and only platform that can guarantee the benefit that Blockchain entails, as a Bitcoin user I can sympathize with their arguments, but it is clear that some of them trashtalk private blockchain because the have interests and investments in Bitcoin

Bank generally won't dissapear, there is no chanse, but bitcoin is crypto currency and it has potential to be dissapeared but I think that goverment need bitcoin and it won't dissapear until they need.

Government does not need bitcoin, it already have fiat. We need bitcoin, it sets us free front the control of fiat. We will not let the government close.down bitcoin. We have kept it alive for 10 years, we can keep it alive for more years to come.

In my opinion banks can not get disappeared since they offer so many services like mortgages and loans etc. where as bitcoins are different as well as banks are very much available like bitcoins online thru ATMs and online banking as well.

I am agreee with you, banks can't dissapear and bitcoin can't make them dissapear. To make banks dissapear people should stop taking loans and other stuff.
