In 5 to 10 years, bitcoin will not overtake paypal and visa. Paypal and other established financial companies can adopt bitcoin as they wish.

On paper this news looks amazing, but in reality it is all blurred and hard to pinpoint. What I am trying to say is bitcoin might has the numbers but it is still not wide known.
Everyone knows Visa, Paypal and Western Union but Bitcoin is considered 'virtual' or 'fake money' by uneducated people.
I hope that situation change in the next one or two years when Bitcoin potentially could surpass the dollar transaction volume of other established payment companies  like American Express, MasterCard, and Visa.

Visa, Paypal and Western Union have a lot of physical marketing, this makes them more well known. I don't think Bitcoin is considered fake money by uneducated money, they simply didn't have the chance to inform themselves of the benefits.
