Just because someone was robbed? That's a strange way to determine "mainstream acceptance".

They can money, they can rob gold, why rob bitcoin?

Because they can. Why not.

That means something right?

It means that someone familiar with bitcoins decided that it was easier to threaten someone than to try to hack them.

Maybe robbers now can easily dispose bitcoin and turn into cash.

Or maybe they just wanted the bitcoins, and didn't want to pay for them.

yeah bitcoin has value, but not as valuable as an iphone or cash. You know what I mean.

I think you are mistaken. The thieves managed to take $8,000 worth of bitcoins. I don't know of any iPhone worth $8000, or anybody that carries $8,000 cash around with them.
