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 don't think bitcoin will make Banks disappear. Now in the world, only a small number of people know about bitcoin, but everyone knows about it. The bank has the backing of the state, and it is hard to go away, and now bitcoin is no longer a threat to Banks.
