Buy doing those marketing and advertisements to make bitcoin in the mainstream, what is you assurance that banks will really disappear? It is too impossible for now for bitcoin to make the banks disappear. Bitcoin is not yet fully recognized worldwide. It still has a long way to go.

Its really a long way to go for bitcoin to be known by most people globally and making banks disappear, i dont think soo that this thing will happen even on the future even how bitcoin will progress on the long run banks would still remain no matter what as long there is government would backed up.

[cramcram21]

I don't think that bitcoin could really destroy the banks,
I mean yeah it could be popular right now but I think that it would never replace Fiat it would only happen when the only money that we are going to use is cryptocurrency.

There are ways we can make Bitcoin mainstream:

Explain for more people that banks cause wars, inflation, they they tax too much, they track transactions, they create money out of thin air, they attacking bitcoin network, they run spam attacks.
Submit articles and videos to your biggest local media websites, explain all the bank disadvantages and give Bitcoin as a solution.
Got to the stadio, talk with loud speaker about bitcoin advantage

Get nude, paint spray bitcoin logo on your body, get media attention, get on the news! I will donate 5BTC if i will see your nude ass in news.
Become best friend of the top youtubers and suggest them to talk about Bitcoin advantage or just use your channel.
Create Bitcoin Seminars, Podcasts.
Create Bitcoin local business, online shop, get media attention to write about your first Bitcoin local business in the country!

I will update this page with more ideas how we can make bitcoin mainstream, now share how you would make bitcoin mainstream.

Do you really have 5 btc to donate for such a thing?I`m gonna buy some spray.
Do we really wanna make bitcoin mainstream?I don`t think this is possible.
The governments support the banks.Bitcoin will become mainstream only if the governments support it
and this is totally impossible.

I believe we do not need government support to make bitcoin mainstream.Instead we need more and more adoption.I also do not understand the logic behind viewing Bank and bitcoin as rivals to each other.Both can survive together and without government support.

I think even when Bitcoin becomes mainstream, people will continue to use banks for a long time. The transition from fiat currency to cryptocurrency is something that can make people less dependent on banks, but banks have a lot of financial resources, and such resources can help such institutions find ways to adapt to that reality. For example, there are already cases of banks accepting deposits in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin mass adoption means the price skyrocketing. That makes the market cap to even higher, and possible to adopt by everyone. It would be great to finally hear good things about Bitcoin and make the banks disappear because banks are evil.. They seem to be good, but instead they try to kill you (indirectly - taking your money and goods).

I Live in Arhnhem The Bitcoin city in Netherlends, i can buy everything with bitcoin. I am not using banks more than a year and will never use them.

[Clement Kaliyar]

As long as the fiat is used by people and i do not think that it will be there for a very long time and so is the case with banking,you really cannot over ride banks and its status with the current stage.Bitcoin is not at all a mainstream currency only time will tell what the future holds for the coin.

To the OP. Give up. The banks will not disappear. Maybe you have been listening to Antonopulous or however his name is spelled too much. He does not know what he is talking about half of the time when it comes to the future of Bitcoin and finance. Bitcoin and crime was made for each other and both will continue to become big online by supporting one another like a symbiosis.

A "mainstream Bitcoin" is out of the question.

yeah right, bitcoin itself doesn't have a good reputation in terms of legality that's why it is very impossible that all government and banking system around the globe will adapt the bitcoin mainstream because it is not meant for legal business.

instead of wishing banks to disappear as your main goal which is an impossible thing, you should be thinking about how you can increase the usage of bitcoin. OP already has some suggestions there but it is not enough to just say these things and talk about it endlessly, we need to see some action.

Banks are the universal finance service supporters. Right now bitcoin replacing all the needs similar to banks takes place after years. Increasing the usage as mentioned is quite good. People need to spread the existence is much important for growth of bitcoin.

We are always talking long term... ofc banks wont disappear in 5 years... but as things like bitcoin grow and old people using traditional banking die... i bet for 30 years from now we will see the last banks remaining, as we see now CD's or floppy disks

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

We have heard many news reports of economies failing and banks failing to restore the system, and bitcoin been used as an alternative mode of payment but that doesn't mean banks are/will disappear as they play a vital role.

[Snorek]

Most of these advice are too extreme for normal people. I don't really want to promote bitcoin by painting bitcoin's symbol on my naked butt and jump around like crazy.
While it may gather attention and spur some curiosity it is not the way to promote serious cryptocurrency which can rival the banks.

Discussion & education is the key. Most of bank clients are oblivious and have no idea how economy works.
We need to enlighten them and show all the cons of bloated banking system.

Might want to go to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1786427

Apparently the first bitcoin bank opened up in Austria.
But it quite isn't what you would think your typical bank would be able to do with the bitcoins you would deposit.
It sounds more like a services and loans type place where you can withdraw but your deposits are just your own wallets.
So no real point in it really.

sorry but I dont think it is likely to happen , buy making bitcoin mainstream that doesnt make bank to disappear , bank has invested many years to people and ofcourse they will not allow their bussiness to be ruin just be because of bitcoin and lastly bitcoin and bank are different entities there is no way they will contradict each ither actually I think having bitcoin in mainstream will be use by bank to make it as an advantage contrary to what you are saying

[loreykyutt05]

for me bitcoin is just an alternative currency people should stop thingking that if it will get impemented it will wipe out the current system and will just be bitcoin ! bitcoin was already noticed by the government and they are making way to properly use it to make it as an alternative money that will be used by the public but my implementing it , it will not abolished the banking system ! it will just be like paypal or any other financial services that already implemented all over the world

[Carmen_Sandiego]

There is a long way to go before Bitcoin becomes mainstream, but big steps have already been taken, and it seems Bitcoin is on the right track. Either way, that does not mean the end of the banks. Institutions with so much money and political support can find some ways to adapt, but surely fewer and fewer people will depend on it.
