And for the record I don't think it's ever going to be a widely used currency. Most people will do all they can to avoid spending it if they have other types of money to hand.
I personally am not even interested in Bitocin being a 'legitimate' currency, because at the end of the day, when it comes to how I spend my money locally, Bitcoin isn't offering me a better form of convenience and usability than fiat is doing, and for that reason it doesn't make any sense for me to use it as such. I can walk into any store and pay instantly and without any fees, plus I enjoy buyers protection and insurance of goods through my bank. What incentive is there for me to use Bitcoin, or basically any other crypto currency in local situations? None.
