Financial technologies such as bitcoin, P2P lending and crowdfunding are just beginning to take off, and businesses involved in the industry pose little immediate threat to traditional commercial banks. Banks, after all, the country's economic lifeline, so I think the bank is still very important, do you think?
I think yes. Bank are still important today. For as long as we are still using the fiat money bank is still needed. We cannot deny the fact that even though more and more people and countries are accepting bitcoin but the vast population is still using the fiat. All of us are still using it in our daily transactions. 
Topic: Is banking still important in the bitcoin era? (Read 2285 times)
Yes, banks are still very important for some people. But I think every bank if it wants to survive in the digital age, they have to use some crypto platform that support to do transaction.
Banks are not dumb they are seeing the revolution that is coming and they understand that they will have to adapt, however I am not as enthusiastic as some people that think that bitcoin is going to kill banks, I would like that to happen but I really do not think that is on the cards, banks have a lot of power and they can use the media to manipulate the people to keep using their services. 
Yes of course Banking is still important in this bitcoin era. And here some of the reasons behind this. Bitcoin is not a widely accepted crypto currency. If you use bitcoin money transaction facility then you just transfer your money only in limited place but in case of bank that thing doesn't happen. Although Bitcoin provide a lot of advantages but it can't it is unable to gain the Trust of people. If once the transaction are happen through Bitcoin then it can't be reverse but this kind of problem doesn't happened with bank. Bank is always need to convert the virtual from of Bitcoin into physical form. So bank is also highly essential in this bitcoin era. 
Financial institutions are not going to disappear, crypto or not. The are an essential, integral part of the current economic system. Retail banking is just a small part of it, financial institutions providing capitals for corporations are much more important, and crypto is of no danger for them.
The banking system is very much important with the Bitcoin crytpo currency trading market, not to mention the important of Financial Banking System of its country, this the soul of one country economy. No country can survive with out the Financial institution or the Banking system, they are the one in charged on money circulation, control of possible over supply or over circulation resulting to inflation which bad to its economy. We have to accept the facts that banking system will remains as the growing acceptance on crypto currency trading transaction is very much visible on the market treed.
Without banking system, you can't deposit money to your exchange and you can't take your money out to your account. Banks are needed but their era will end within years with the rise of blockchain technologies.
Of course it is your back up when you are having an emergency happens and it is very reliable and also very accessible. I am not saying bitcoin is not accessible but atleast you have two different assets and savings storage so that's why banking is still important.
saving in bank more accessible and easy to liquidate.if have something emergency we can take it soon.it little different with withdrawing bitcoin or other crypto currency that need several steps. Banks are still necessary even with the presence of new innovations like cryptocurrencies. Not all people are in cryptocurrencies and even products and services are not all in online business. Banks regulate the issuance of fiat money and the main end of having cryptos is to exchange them in fiat.
Yes, it is still important, but less.. Since bitcoin got popular, many investors withdrew their money and started investing in bitcoin, for they know bitcoin has higher profit than a bank in lesser time.

Yes, I think Bank is still important in the bitcoin era. Bank is still needed by society in a country anyway, and play own role like lending, funding etc. It is my opinion
For me, banks are still important in this bitcoin era because the acceptance of bitcoin is still very meager compared to banks and also banks are legal to all over the globe. We all know that bitcoin is illegal to some countries and most of the state wants to ban bitcoin because for some reasons. Banks is still essential especially if your country doesn’t have any exchanger of bitcoin, how you will cash out it? Or how you can buy bitcoin or use. Also, most of the establishment and company is still want to transact with banks because they know the bank's capability even bitcoin is the best.

In the bitcoin era banking is not so important at all because every thing we can resolved with bitcoin itself so the conventional banking system has no specific role on it. If some body is undertaking a deal between a firm or an individual here with bitcoin the buyer and the seller only knows about it with out a third party interference such as banks. Bitcoin saves the processing time and the processing charge and the transaction between the buyer and seller directly..So the bitcoin is more convenient for the international trade.
If cryptocurrencies are still not regulated or legalized on all countries, then we still need help comming from banks. In our country, you can cash out anytime anywhere with an ATM machine powedred by banks. If you withraw your earning for example and thats a huge amount, you need to store it through your bank for security purposes also.
Until whenever banks will be important for the country and the economy, we all know that business and investment in the world are in dire need of funds, and that they can get by borrowing funds in banks.
banks will stay still be needed
banks will stay still be needed
There is this significant drawback that bitcoin has as the currency since it is decentralized and cannot be printed as the paper money by banks whenever it hits the deflationary behavior.

The banking institution with the entry of Bitcoin currency trading market, had the FEAR of the unknown in some way. the business institution reacted differently with the emerging concern on issue on Banned,Scammer, and the never ending issue on Regulation as to the use of Digital currency into trading market. But, in reality the Banking institution together with the Business community would not allow that the Banking system will be affected by the crypto currency trading market, This is one of the very important part of the government, the banking system, with out it, no country can survive for its the soul of one country economy. it is therefore, that we have to leave with the crypto currency digital transaction, as well as, the banking system.
Of course it is your back up when you are having an emergency happens and it is very reliable and also very accessible. I am not saying bitcoin is not accessible but atleast you have two different assets and savings storage so that's why banking is still important.
saving in bank more accessible and easy to liquidate.if have something emergency we can take it soon.it little different with withdrawing bitcoin or other crypto currency that need several steps. With ripples on their side I guess banks wouldn't give up without a fight. There were rumors already that banks will accept BTC too which is why they still are going to be relevant still as they'd like to blend in. XRP will be used by banks as they XRP community claimed and if this is true then the banks will be important.
Banking system is still very important as of today that lack of adoptions of blockchain technology. So there are many factors actually to be considered when totally no banks to be used and bitcoin to be the main currency. Hence, banking for me is very important since others already adopted this system way long ago and it has big impact still to the people.

Definitely the bank has a power to route the moneyfrom external sector to internal and repaeat this cycla on and on. Bitcoin really does need to comply with the standards in the society say for example, it has to go under a lot of transaction to be able to transform your digital currency to physical one.
