Most successful technology fulfils a need. Nobody needs crypto currency. For the bulk of the population Visa and Mastercard suit them just fine.
I don't believe any form of crypto currency, including Bitcoin, will be adopted by the mainstream until it's embraced by banks and financial regulators.
In any case, it will be a very long time until the pirates of this world can monetize effectively using crypto currency.
