It seems that experts say that Bitcoin 'Here to Stay,' But Banks Could Disappear.


"TheStreet: How do you think FinTech will impact the way banks operate?

Frank Schwab: Banks either react on, or they will disappear. Anyway, the consolidation of the banking industry accelerates as the behaviour of people changes. Some banks will benefit from [FinTech], some will be pushed to the back end, and some will disappear."

What's your read on that?


I read a quote saying “Bitcoin will do to banking industry what emails did to the postal industry”.
In the past banks have playes significant role in financing in loans to the public. As gold and silver have been replaced with fiat currency,the banks have reached an almost omnipotent position.
More likely that governments will co-opt crypto and begin issuing their fiat money as a crypto.
