people should stop expecting bitcoin to be as simple and convenient as swiping a credit card. it's not just a payment method; it's a monetary system with built-in storage/banking, and a payment method all in one. that requires a nuanced economic design, including decentralized (inefficient and cumbersome) relay and validation. not many people but geeks can appreciate its beauty and utility---it takes price bubbles for most people to realize it might be important.
we already have sleek desktop/mobile wallets and hardware wallets that are user-friendly. what may help is the lightning network bringing faster and cheaper payments to users. right now, it's really only recommended for tech savvy users.
at the end of the day, most people aren't interested in alternative forms of money. many people won't bother until it starts becoming the norm.

Even after Ten years still Bitcoin is used by Geeks and majority of common citizens doesn't seems to use Bitcoin as a currency or even for trading purposes and I think this situation has occurred because still it is not approachable and that is because even it has all the features for a proper usability majority of people doesn't see Bitcoin as an usable currency for anyone who has basic technical knowledge which is not true but in order to change this situation and make Bitcoin more approachable to common people how its path should change in the future both technically and socially to convince it is a currency for everyone
