Things look promising, but when have we won?
It already has

Quite easy. Bitcoin has won if a "significant" number of people (say, hundreds of millions) use it as a daily currency.
Meaning: . Salaries partly or fully paid in BTC . Taxes paid (or at least allowed to be paid) in BTC . Most expenses/shopping paid in BTC (food, transport, utilities)
As long as Bitcoin is seen mostly as an "investment", a trading asset, some sort of "digital gold" or, worst, a "get rich scheme", it means it's failing.

You'd have to clarify the goal of Bitcoin to answer that question. It has already succeeded at becoming a medium of exchange and store of value, which was not trivial.
Success at emerging as the true form of money will require displacing all the other currencies in transactions, savings, and accounting.

I think it already won. It has been a wild ride, against all odds, but bitcoin is here to stay and is a civilizational advancement.
