It is and it's becoming easier to use month by month as new applications come in to help adoption.

You got everything wrong in that sentence.

Its still just as hard to get your hands on btc as it was a year ago. And using it hasn't changed much, you can still scan a qr code, but you can do that with other payment systems too. Btc may protect against chargebacks, but if you send to a wrong address there is nothing you can do about it. this is enough to scare off most people. the first time someone lost coins by sending to a wrong address or was scammed somehow dealing with btc they are going to stop going through the hastle and give up on it. the only thing btc now has for a hope of price increase is investor money coming in, however I think that will only cause short price spikes (like yesterday) and then they will quickly sell and make easy money.
