No, I highly doubt it.

Bitcoin is a system that aims to facilitate transactions without the need for a bank.

People tend to overlook the fact that anywhere where one transacts value in different forms inevitably forms an economy. There shall be tools and factors that influence this economy to cultivate it. Banks are just one of the factors that influence economy. Banks run within a different kind of economy. Banks are designed to safeguard people’s money, lend the same money to people that need them to collect interest and eventually have the money rotated within to generate maximum value per rotation.

Bitcoin’s economic model differs from that of a bank.
Cryptocurrencies (bitcoin) might solve a problem that banks do too.

 Banks are subject to inflation

Demand shall dictate the value of Bitcoin and given that value is being generated in each round of rotation, the value of Bitcoin shall only increase. Bitcoin isn’t affected by government laws and has a capped supply which keeps its motive in alignment with that of its token holders.

Both are sustainable in the long run as they cater to different economies.

Bitcoin and Banks are catering different sections of our society.
Sure, one might hamper another, but I don’t think it is enough to erase one’s need to our society.
