Not yet! There are some underlying issues needed to be addressed before the masses adoption! Such as security issues, easy application, regulation, mining centralization, price volatility etc. PPl basically want the secured ,easy to use , appreciated currency,
Exactly. We also need some prunning or compression for Bitcoin Core. Syncing taking hours isn't really helping.
It will take a few more years till the infrastructure is ready for mainstream adoption. When some people don't know how to do something simple as take a screenshot on their PC, how do you expect them to use something as complicated as Bitcoin?

Exactly! Some people don't know how to use a computer and we 'are thinking' (or maybe better would like) that btc will go mainstream... really amazing! I still prefer bitcoin for some usage, and FIAT currencies for other things and I am thinking that they can co-exist (with some 'limitation' in the future).
