The article mentions scalability as the main issue. This is so last week! We already have an agreement and it's called segwit, so this point seems irrelevant.
And finally, the human factor. Despite growing usage, the rate at which community is growing leaves a lot to be desired. A majority of the population are not comfortable using cryptocurrencies due to various reasons, and it can be solved by creating awareness about Bitcoin and its advantages.
Ok, for an important point this was extremely ambiguous. What various reasons? I'm comfortable using it and would find it easy to pay with my phone. I'm already using my phone to withdraw money from atms without using my CC, bitcoin would be as easy.
