I don't believe this is true, at least for the medium term. Two arguments:
1. Most of the 'adoption' is still people trading, instead of actually using Monero as a currency. There is no immediate urgency to 'switch'.
2. Look at Darkcoin. It simply is inferior software from a technical and anonymity point of view. Still it holds value.
