Theres no chance for a digital currency  in placing a   fiat currency. We all know  that  fiat  is  being  used  by all people  all  over the world and  it already  established  its  name and  its uses  worldwide  and  for bitcoin  no matter  how  it flies  , it cant still  place  fiat currency , so this means  banks  would be  still there because  fiat  do store  on banks.
I agree with you, bitcoin and bank is two totally different concept, bitcoin's existence doesn't have anything to deal with banks and the fact that no matter how high bitcoin can grow or how low it can get, banks aren't affected by any of them. Therefore, bitcoin certainly can't replace banks, not to mention make them disappear.

Bitcoin makes some bank functions obsolete, but not all of them.

From the top of my head: bitcoin cannot do the following:
-lending & borrowing
-letter of credits
-chargebacks
I would have to disagree with you that you could not make those services disappear when it comes to bitcoin and a bank.  There are lenders out there for bitcoin which would cover the lending situation.  Letters of credit could be easy if you were storing your BTC in an interest bearing BTC account of sorts, and there is no need for charge backs  If you are doing a transaction, make sure you are not getting ripped before you do the transaction.  The lack of chargebacks is one of the great things about bitcoin.
