It isn't. Bitcoin isn't nearly big enough to cause systemic problems of banks, especially since most banks either don't have legal access to it, or because they don't see it as a valuable investment.
Please note that while Bitcoin is mostly built to counter central banking, it also heavily encroaches on the traditional yield generating business that banks serve to the people: storing wealth. With bitcoin, (excepting mining fees) you don't have to pay for storage or services. You don't run a counterparty risk, and you can keep a moderate level of privacy.
