Bitcoin needs to work as a currency that's what we really need not many people are going to put their money bitcoin if it is just a high risk investment, after all how many people are investing in those kind of products not many I suppose, but everyone needs to use currency from the richest man in the world to the poorest so until bitcoin is able to satisfy that condition then we cannot get mass adoption.
I don't think it will be possible for bitcoin to work as an offline currency if that's what you mean. But if you mean online currency then I concur and I believe its still serving that purpose because many people are using it to make payments online. And bitcoin is not that a high risking investment compares to many upcoming ICOs that has an uncertain future; this is because Bitcoin future is certain.
