Bitcoin have gained ground no doubt but a good percentage of the world population are yet to embrace Bitcoin. Remember that government policies in some country slow down Bitcoin awareness and penetration. So, I wouldn't say we are there yet as I still see Bitcoin as something that is making way into the mainstream.
Interestingly, a good number of businesses I know of are implementing Bitcoin payments and many are seriously considering same. As a matter of fact, I am also working on a project that will push this further in my locality and at a later date I will share details here for more suggestion and guidance.
Yes but those who are to embrace bitcoin know the important of bitcoin but just that they don't know how to use it but they know that bitcoin is a digital currency but don't know how to go about. So they need you and me to enlighten them. In my country the government used the Central Bank to ban the transaction of bitcoin in the banks but the purpose of bitcoin is utilized very well which is the p2p transaction. Even when the government banned bitcoin in their jurisdiction they can't ban the individuals to use bitcoin and that is where p2p transaction come to play. Yes businesses are adopting bitcoin in their payroll.
