Pros? Off the top of my head, Bitcoin becoming the global currency would make anyone who's holding even a meager amount of coins rich. One Bitcoin could easily be worth millions of dollars with the entire global population sharing only 21 million. There's also the fact that everyone will be able to access a convenient, secure, and decentralized currency that they don't need to entrust with banks.
I honestly don't think there's a significant con, but we're obviously very far from that with a lot of roadblocks ahead. Bitcoin can't handle that many transactions, for one. Transaction fees could also be bigger than fiat exchange fees. There's also the fact that none of that even matters if we can't get adoption. But yeah, we'll see. It seems to me like we're slowly inching our way there.
