One of the main reasons definitely is that there are too few merchants and shops which accept Bitcoin. Why should somebody "normal" use Bitcoin as payment option when it is hard to spend them?

There are in fact quite a bit sites where you can spend your coins online, and it's only spreading. However, the issue here is that people want to spend their coins locally in stores where they can buy their daily needs. I am quite sure that when local stores are adding Bitcoin as payment tool that much more people are willing to spend their coins.

Well that's the main reason now and we know about it. Each country is having hard time to adopt bitcoins especially the stores that they have in their places. But that is not going to be a problem in the future, once the government is going to implement the use of bitcoin, then local stores are going to be forced to use bitcoin.

Well you are right the government has a big role in bitcoin industry. If the government ban bitcoins in their country then that country's citizen will not use bitcoins.

Possibly if the government promotes the use of bitcoin there are no more hindrance to the increase of bitcoins economy.

And how you can define the government has a big role in bitcoin industry? ???maybe, if the government is ban bitcoin in their country, their civilians will always use bitcoin until the government included the activities is having relationships with bitcoin in the illegal activities listed.
