My answer is yes, but not in our lifetime.

Right now there are just too many issues keeping something like Bitcoin from becoming anything more than a niche item.

That said, I think eventually something like it could have a strong presence. A global decentralized currency is a great idea but it could take decades to get to the point where enough people trust it and use it for it to become very popular. I could even see a future where a cryptocurrency is the main global currency being used but that isn't going to happen for a very long time.
