There are a lot of factors that can decide the fate of bitcoin. It's still in the growing pains stage and has a lot of hurdles to overcome before it is widely accepted by everyone. So knowing that, it's just too early to say either way. The largest hurdle right now is the average guy trying to figure it out, and adding a wallet, backing it up, and all of that is not easy. When Bitcoin is as easy to use as Paypal, then it's probably going to explode.
That said, I personally believe the government will step it at some time and heavy regulate it somehow, be it pressure they put on the exchangers or some new way no one has thought of yet. That may not be the end of it, but at the very least they will eventually try do away with people using it for illegal activity such as human trafficking, money laundering, drugs, firearms, and the usual no-nos.
