I am no expert but I feel like bitcoin is the type of thing that if you try fighting, may actually strengthen it. Sort of like drugs, the fact that they are so illegal drives the price of a hearty 'weed' to that of quadruple the price of silver. And the taboo draws attention, raises curiosity, and stimulates questioning. And now a freaking common plant has a global political movement based around it, its actually quite embarrassing... It's like walking down a crowded sidewalk and punching a stranger in the face. Everyone notices immediately, and they instantly take the strangers side and think your scum. Even if the guy you punched was mass murderer, the crowd will think he is a saint.
There are a ton of activities that can get your account frozen its not only cryptocurrencies. And there is no war on bitcoin banks have to deal with regulations.
Bitcoin Tickles the bones of financial institutions because a person can easily move money without IRS noticing it for taxes. I don't think there are any other way that make the bank go crazy.
Bitcoins are basically a joke to banks, it poses no threat its more of a short term fad and governments can easily monitor bitcoin.

A joke?? I don't think so! Easily monitor?? --> http://www.btcfeed.net/news/bitcoin-fog-tumbling-accepted-bitcoin-community/
Yet if someone gets paid out by one of the tumbling services they can get conspiracy to commit money laundering charges.
The coming alternative to SWIFT being worked upon by China and Russia poses a much bigger threat to the western Banking system than bitcoins ever will.
