Yes, but it will happen much faster if users of national currencies can use the existing systems they are comfortable with to move value in and out of bitcoin. The name of the game right now is go mainstream as quickly as possible before they get their act together and realize what's happening.

The one thing in bitcoin's favor right now is how quickly it's legitimate use is growing. Anything to hurry that along can only help.
