Well if you are talking about bitcoins being a media mainstream, then yes it has become mainstream in terms of so much discussion being going around in the media and people becoming more and more aware about it,but if you are talking about its usage becoming mainstream, then it is gonna take some time, people are still relying on paper currency, since it is an age old system and therefore trustworthy, for bitcoins to become mainstream in usage its gonna take a lot of time
I agree with your point of view, waiting for people to accept bitcoin may take time.
