In every business it's the same. When new technology comes up the existing businesses will evolve or die. And obviously new businesses will also rise strong.
Same happened with mp3 and music industry...

How come your example can be applied to banking industry.

Banking industry is so vast that even if crypto will be the new thing , still they will remained. But prior to that, it will be very difficult to erase banking system even for decades. Honestly most crypto users here have a definition what is bank just because of interest vs holding cryptos. It's not like that.

Banks are not designed just for saving the money scheme. It has many purposes and advantages. Im a crypto enthusiast but not to the point that I will erase what are facts and closest thing to happened.

The bank will no doubt act in order not to quickly wear out in the future, hear so much that banks count so many cryptocurrencies as the most dangerous and unfit for investment or as a means of payment, I think it is a self-defense to convince everyone not to over-react against cryptocurrency, for me it's cunning and gaining authority in every country, banks will always be there because they are so important.
well said, your analysis are factual, for sure, join them if you cant beat them and that will be the scenero when crypto finally takes center stage, the banks will have no option than to fit in to the new system of finance else risk fissling out completely from the financial business.

Many says that banks would become obsolete if cryptocurrency would take over the world in the future, but i guess not. Here are some of my assumptions on what would be the situation of banks in the future with cryptocurrency.


1. INVESTMENT
Banks will take an advantage to cryptocurrency using it as their main source of investment. They say, if you cant beat them, join them and bank owners  would do everything to fit into new society of financing to find clients on the new generation and still earn from them. Instead of UITFs or mutual funds, they would go for crypto investments.


2. CURRENCY
Or perhaps i would say a dollar account. As far as i know, banks offers a local currency account and a dollar account which can be used for international transactions such as shipment or travel. On the cryptocurrency era, there would be a local currency, dollar , and cryptocurrency account which probably an electronic account. Dollar wouldnt be a big hit that time because crypto can function the same and more effecient to do.


3. LOANS
Who can say that you can only loan fiat on banks? When the time comes, bank can offer crytpocurrency loans which can be used as an investment, business or buying something on cryptocurrency market. Im sure all items can be purchased using crypto that time including cars and real estates. So getting some cryptoloan wouldnt be a problem.


4. SAVINGS
ofcourse, the most wanted of them all. Who.doesnt want any security for their treasured cryptocirrency earnings? Banks which has the main function of keeping your money secured would offer crypto savings which produces interest over time. Preventing scams and hackers that we all afraid of.


As you see, banks would rather adopt than being extinct. Its like those businesses who innovates when society changes. If cryptocurrency overpower the economy, they should go with the flow to survive

Majority of people still think traditionally and would choose bank deposits over crypto. Banks are not going anywhere.

What the majority is thinking now doesn't really matter in the big picture. It did not matter that the majority of people in the 80s preferred to send a letter than use their modem to send an email, or even buy a fax machine. Sure, the majority would still choose a bank, but BTC is where personal computers and the Internet were in the 70s and 80s. 30 years from now it may be a completely different world. If you don't believe me check out how much the world has changed between 1980 and 2010.

I only disagree when you say "30 years from now": when I look at the recent past, I'm pretty sure that in just ten years - or less - we'll have a complete revolution in the economic system, due to bitcoin and - muchmore - to the blockchain technology.

The banking system is essentially a center of control and power, and will not easily yield to others the ability to influence the economy.
Even if bitcoin takes over, banks will surely find a way to reinvent themselves and maintain power.

As youh rightly said, they evolve!. I don't know why people think they are beyond innovation. They have been relevant for years now, they drove development and are still driving it in a lot of countries!

Banks will exist in any case, only how they will work and take the currency is not known.

There will always be some sort of use for banking institutions.  Some big transfers need a 3rd party to be able to reverse transactions, perhaps big companies will be involved in bitcoin escrow in the future though.  I think bankers were threatened at first but they are starting to invest in cryptocurrency themselves now.

As in the Op things can change when the mainstream usage of cryptocurrency keeps on increasing marking an evolution on the entire financial infrastructure. Already there were few banking network that has started using bitcoin as well accept bitcoin investment similar to that of the gold. The financial system functions in an effective manner if bitcoin adoption happens with entire banking.

I doubt that banks will simply go away, and I'm sure they will learn to adopt and I also don't agree that crypto will make banks obsolete. And one evident that they are evolving and innovating is with Blockchain. We all heard that a lot of banks have been exploring Blockchain and how it can be adapted to help them streamlined their business process.

It may be very difficult for Cryptocurrencies to phase out banks. In fact of the inadequacies of the banks, I think they still have a form of guaranteed investments and loan transactions.

One close friend of mine is working in the bank system on a high position and she said that in our country banks are not concerned about cryptocurrencies at all because all of them are thinking that it is a bubble.

Banks will still exist but only few people will be using it, those are the people who dont have any knowledge about cryptocurrency. Crypto will overpower banks which may lead to people transferring to crypto.

 Banks will remain in the Countries we belong, this is the old system of Savings, Investments, and loans. Even with the crypto currency digital transaction is globally accepted and practice, banks still make the stand to be profitable in the Business world. They may even adopt the Blackchain system for banking used.

The time of going against bitcoin is slowly halting to a stop, it's inevitable they will have to join at some point.

Of course, the banks will not disappear, but I think that with the expansion of the crypto currency, their functions and  their quantity will be significantly reduced.

I don't think banks will ever offer crypto deposits or investments to their clients. What the OP has listed will probably not going to work for a number of reasons. First off, banks are not interested in high risk-high reward markets. Banks want to make safe profits with the tiniest amount of risk involved. Wall Street brokers or stock exchange speculators might invest and trade with Bitcoin, banks won't.
Loans in Bitcoin are outright not going to work. Loans are pegged to the local currency of the country and Bitcoin is pegged to fiat. Also in order to get a loan in Bitcoin you would need to provide a collateral in fiat. On top of that Bitcoin is so volatile that loans will change in value overnight and if you have used the crypto loan for purchases with fiat you might end up paying more on your loans. Bitcoin is ALWAYS pegged to fiat because you need to know the monetary value of the product you want to buy.

It sounds weird, but we'll see it later, I guess this is the most difficult to realize.

The bank takes care of cryptocurrency and lends cryptocurrency to the crowd, would be a complicating system.
