no, banks won't go off just like that. it would need centuries to get everyone on this planet using cryptocurrency as Bitcoin. and banks are smart, they will adopt changes and open same debit/credit business in cryptocurrency.

It is impossible to make banks disappear by Bitcoin.

Even 10% of world population doesn't know about Bitcoin I am surprised to think about making banks to disappear.

Bitcoin is born not to destroy other systems it is created to support the world with better financial system I believe bitcoin is on right path.

Very doubtful, but more realistically it could make Paypal and Western Union go away.

I think no, it can't. With the transaction fee that keeps on increasing while the price is increasing, then I think it is still faster to use western union or paypal in that sense.

I would believe that western union or paypal would be gone when we are paying small fee and as fast as those. With regards to banks, no it won't disappear no matter how we wish that it happen.

Yes right and why we would wish to disappear the old version on how we deposit some moneys how weve cash out so probably there is no such thing to wish for that all bank will disappear even though how may become so powerful the bitcoin is disappearing bank are never been happen.

I'm going with Paypal disappearing because bitcoin and Paypal are both used widely on the Internet. In real life, we have banks and we get that cash aren't just going to disappear. they aren't built in hype or some trend anymore. They are built by tradition. The tradition that people have been worshiping money ever since it was created. The tradition that we have to work so hard and get so little in return. And even if we do get a lot fiat money, it's purchasing power is now too little because of the constant inflation going on.

Let's face it. Paypal is what the scammers are using. You see someone here offering his Paypal for your BTC, you better be careful. Even though in the buyer protection policy of Paypal it is said that the buyer can't dispute the payment if it was for a digital good, the scammer can simply just say that he was hacked and he never really had that transaction. We all should use bitcoin but the only thing that's keeping Paypal alive is all the online stores that we use that accepts it and not bitcoin.

Banks will never disappear. Bankers have been among us ever since we invented money. What happened, first the banks tried to stop bitcoin. As they didn't succeed, they now try to use it for their own benefit. Maybe they'll introduce their own cryptocurrency, but that will only work if governments back them up and make this the official currency.

bitcoin is on its way to destroy the current banking system but it doesn't mean that banks has to be disappear with that. if banks can integrate with bitcoins they can still be alive.

Banks was made long time ago, bitcoin only 9 years ago, people will always trust in banks not in virtual currency.

Maybe bitcoin will not but bank will disappear? maybe  but not that easy, Banks in general holds lots of lots of physical money and not only money sometimes jewelry and golds and some people are storing their money to hold it for the long period of time so they are choosing banks to do the job.
