You could see similar percentages about credit cards when they started as well.
Bitcoin is not much practical today (hard to buy), but it gets better a bit every month

Ain't this good news? Bitcoin was at best considered a monopoly money to vast majority. So we got at least 5% of the population willing to use this as a serious currency?
Population of US alone is 320 million - 5% of that is 16 million people.
That's more than population of some countries. Possibly more people than those invested in certain stock markets.
Make no mistake. This is good news.

21% is a ridiculous coup. If we can even get half of that to actually use Bitcoin over the next ten years, the world would change forever.

21% of customers consider using it is still a great start. That's a lot of people.
Right now bitcoin isn't practical for many consumers, nor is it easy for them to understand or use. Ease of use should certainly increase over time, it's yet to be seen if there will be more incentive for people to use bitcoin for shopping.

This is because we're still not mainstream. First the visionaries invest in bitcoin. Then the tech-savvy people. Then the mainstream joes slowly take notice, and you get mainstream adoption. We're somewhere between 2 and 3.

Well not many people considered using LTC earlier, but with gaining popularity, people started using LTC too.
So, just because one surveys suggests that people won't adopt other alt coins, doesn't mean they WILL NOT adopt any other coins ever.

You mean like how 90% make earned income and only 10% make their money from capital gains.
So 90% of workers would never make money using capital gains?

21% not bad, and yeah, what DeathandTaxes said.
And yes, the 79% are the 'tards who have all their eggs in one basket, the ones who get fucked when their government Weimar Republics or Zimbabwes their ass. Yes, I just used country names as verbs.
That's right, Argentinians and Venezuelans! You're learning a painful lesson not to believe everything your government tells you. And the funny thing is, Americans aren't even learning by example - their news doesn't even cover that shit.
Then again, the news here covered Cyprus (barely) and people still have tons of money in the bank.
Don't worry, I still have faith in humanity. After all - 21%.

Sweet 21% of consumers would consider using Bitcoin.
Also never is a long time. I think in the 1970s at least as high of % would have claimed they would never use the internet and in the 1980s a similar percentage would have said they would never use online banking and in the 1990s a similar percentage would have said the same thing about digital downloads, smartphones, gps navigation, etc.
