It's not taking long at all. Bitcoin is a completely new beast and has a lot of problems to be solved and a complex web of financial laws and regulations to find its place in before it can be used in any significant scale.

I'd say it's a miracle we have come so far in such a short period of time, and there's definitely still a lot to be done before it can reach its full potential, it will take at least another decade, probably several.

With the "forcibly increase" of fees due to "full mempools" definitely adoption will take longer. When new bitcoin users will see that for a simple coffee you will have to pay at least 5000 satoshis will not be so cool to use bitcoin...

Good, because every single sold cup of coffee in the entire world is not supposed to go on the blockchain.

I don't think anyone really knows what "adoption" would look like.

It might be helpful to identify groups of people who could benefit from bitcoin today, but don't simply because they aren't aware of it.

I'd argue there's virtually no one in this group. People you might think are in this group, actually are not, because:

  • There are no significant benefits (people who already have access to banking services, don't face significant censorship).
  • The risks of using bitcoin to their benefit (bypassing regulation) are unacceptably high for them (volatility, law enforcement).
  • There are benefits, but only if others also use bitcoin who currently do not use it

The 3rd category is the most interesting, since it doesn't require any changes in beliefs or attitudes. All that's required is overcoming inertia. This will happen, the same way use of email spread in the late 90's.
