It will but it will certainly take a long time.   The current Bitcoin market value is too small and the Bitcoin economy is far too little, too few people transacting and too few businesses willing to take bitcoins as payment.   All these will be changing but changing does take time.

Factual error: they say 21 million BTC by 2040.

It won't be very far from 21million in 2040. And it won't ever reach the 21million .

“Bitcoin is the biggest invention since the internet,” Pamir Gelenbe, Partner at Hummingbird Ventures, asserted in a chat last Thursday.

To explore the future of this controversial digital crypto-currency, Gelenbe is launching a one-day, invitation-only conference in London next week that will bring together leading members of the Bitcoin community to discuss its viability and ability to transform global finance as we know it.

The panels will range from legal issues to investment opportunities, and even the possibility of whether Iceland should adopt Bitcoin as its national currency.
