The Bitcoin ecosystem is totally ready. Plenty of nodes, miners, wallets, payment processors and services of all sorts.

What we need is simple: (much) more users and less traders.

Way too many people seem to be "Bitcoin advocates" when they are in fact seeing Bitcoin as a "get rich fast" scheme. The (ugly) truth about Bitcoin today is that too many current Bitcoin owners don't give a dam about Bitcoin. They are just day-traders of a volatile (and possibly juicy) asset. If Bitcoin was a kind of hyped toothbrush, it would be the same for them.

Bitcoin will succeed only if hundreds of millions of "normal" people use it on a daily basis, as they do with fiat currencies.

It's not a question of technology, tools, or "community", it's all about adoption. Nothing else matters. Not even regulation, because once we reach a critical mass (say, 1B users), no country in the world can take the political risk to ban/limit Bitcoin anymore.
