Ok so we have 3 more years to go to each the 10.
Right now the BTC user base is probably 1 to 1,5 million users and the value is ~$360.
How much more users and main stream media attention, growth in value etc. do we need to be fully accepted and being able to say "we've made it"?


I'm curious about your estimate of 1-1.5 million users.  Although knowing for sure is impossible, have you read any recent, compelling research that suggests those figures are accurate?  Adoption is a critical metric to track but other than the figures self-reported by online wallet services with KYC barriers, it seems difficult to even venture a guess at a headcount.
