I dont think so, banks will disappear because of bitcoin. Banks do play a great role in our society in terms of financial aspect to many of us. In times as bitcoins were emerging in the community, quite sure banks will consider this and become part of its services.

I think it will never happen that bitcoin can disappear bank. We all know that to make us use bitcoin we need real currency and real currency is came from banks. So how can we use bitcoin without these banks ? Maybe if the government would make the bitcoin as a real currency also. But I think its far to happen.

For an mate stated above, Not every older people were modern. Very few were using credit cards and other online means of transactions. Even now majority of the old generation prefer paper money and this cannot be changed through learning. It has got attached to the living style, so maybe the upcoming generations might create a change.

I believe bitcoin and fiat can equally co-exist collectively, with bitcoin masking the physical trades and bitcoin employed in on the internet transactions.

Very likely, when all transactions can be done by yourself without any bank will certainly make the banks deserted and slowly can close the business. I'm sure if everyone using bitcoin, then the bank will close automatically but no time soon, because the user has not been much bitcoin.

No, I hope not, they will take all the deposits with them if they do !!!

If Banks are smart, they will embrace bitcoin.
Look at what Fidelity investments did. A little step towards an integration.

For 99% of the people, having a BTC wallet in your Bank of America or Chase account would be a huge plus. Imagine the mass adpotion if they create cards a la TenX...
And the banks would still make money on fees, and remain your primary "human" point of contact for the rest.

It is not the decentralized dream most of us imagine, but it is a real fast path for mass adoption. Savvy users keeping the possibikity to keep their btc out of the system if they want: the best of 2 worlds.

I think No. Not everybody is familiar with bitcoin. And some of the big businesses, companies and even our government used banks. But hopefully, banks will adapt in the future and accepts bitcoin for easy and faster transactions.

It can because Bitcoin can be stored in online wallets but it will surely take a lot of time as today Bitcoin is popular but it takes time for people to change their mindset and opt for a change.
