It's a work in progress, Bitcoin can't be a Fiat alternative without fighting some war with centralised entities first and this can take years to accomplish and we shouldn't worry ourselves over it, my belief is bitcoin will make it happen anyways.

Well, not everyone would think like that since I believe both fiat and Bitcoin should exist at the same time. They can't eliminate fiat and switch to Bitcoin since only fiat is being controlled by the government therefore, they can have it while owning a Bitcoin will remain in your own wallet and you are free to use it as you may. So it's just up to the people if they want fiat or Bitcoin, as long as there is a merchant who could accept Bitcoin or fiat if someone wants to withdraw.

So choosing between fiat and Bitcoin is still on a big debate.

In actual it depends on time and on the people and on the technology of future but in this time it seems that usage of bitcoin is more convenient for people as nowadays many of the purchases are done via online services and for fiat people feel it difficult to go through complicated processes of online payment processors. If the usage of bitcoin is allowed by the authorities without any restrictions then people will like to choose bitcoin to use for their daily transactions.

If all the transactions will be done online, then bitcoin will definitely fit for it. But most of the people still prefer fiat because they are used to it especially in the case for older citizens as they are not totally inclined with using new technology payment system. However, i would say that bitcoin has not failed in its own goal because some countries at the moment are already starting to establish solid proofs about bitcoin before they will consider adopting it as a currency. And bitcoin does not end here, good things will certainly happen in the future and maybe by that time, bitcoin will be used already as an alternative to fiat.

They are less in number because even the older citizens often prefer the online payment when they purchase via their bank card. They know about bank cards and they know how to use it. If they will know about bitcoin and they will learn hat how to use it then they will use bitcoin.
