In my honest opinion, I don't think that banks will ever try to use or oppose Bitcoin. They would use blockchain technology to keep alive themselves and instead of direct conflicts, they would try to adopt something like the ripple to compete in the market. Yes, Bitcoin will cut their earnings by providing similar service in faster and decentralised way but they won't be able to do anything directly.

I know we are still at a start of cryptocurrencies, but bitcoin is growing with lightning speed right now and some banks already see it as a potential threat.
There has been a lot of accusations form banks, that bitcoin is perfect for money laundering and is used for supporting crime.
I think they can do a lot of harm to bitcoin market and they will eventually start with harsh campaign against it.
Do you thing it will happen and when?

You forgot that banks are heavily researching and investing millions of dollars in their own blockchain solutions. I say banks but it also concerns insurance and lot of different industries. So they can't really start a war against Bitcoin as it would also mean against the blockchain. You can't really say Bitcoin is a shit while you are using it yourself.

People sometimes compare the current state of blockchain to the world wide web when it first came out. If that is an accurate analogy, then banks are more likely to try to co-opt the technology rather than wage a war, similar to how they did with online trading and brokerage.

War? What war are you talking about op. Banks are already using bitcoin technology called blockchain. There are some banks which are paying or accepting Bitcoins. Many are now encouraging it to. Yes there is a fear that banks may loose out business, but it's absurd nothing like this will ever happen, banks are more than happy to encourage Bitcoins as after conversion, it comes back to them.

The bankers control the world, they could simply start by shutting down the exchanges but they won't do that because people will start talking about freedom of belief, speech and that kind of stuff. Instead, they will do whatever they are doing with Islam for example, they will make it look bad, you will see more pedophiles and terrorists, weapon and drug dealers, kidnappers on the media asking for bitcoin and eventually this will put away a large amount of people away.

All banks controlled by the government so you can not even doubt that such a war would be. But against any poison there is always an antidote. If such a war starts we will look for ways to circumvent the restrictions. To stop bitcoin is not a force any Bank.

This is exactly what always worries me. Governments always want to control transactions and prosecute buyers and sellers. I think this is difficult fot them when people use bitcoins for their transactions. I hope this never happens.

People been making those kind of allegations and other complicated conspiracy theories since bitcoin's inception, it never happened and it will never happen, people working at banks don't care about bitcoin, shareholders don't care, CEOs don't care, tellers even less.

They only complain about the unfair paying field, they have to spend millions in compliance while some bitcoin startups who offer similar services don't.
