As much as I would love that to come true, it's highly unlikely
So why did it not start with gold?
Gold is quite likely to suffer silver's fate in terms of reverting to its industrial use and industrial value the more that bitcoin supplants gold in terms of a safe haven asset and increasing financialization of bitcoin, and surely bitcoin is better than gold, anyhow in a variety of ways.. People have merely not come around to realize that bitcoin is better than gold yet..,. but they will.. they will .. and some people are already coming around to that realization.... and especially people who have been studying the bitcoin space, which you should be one of those folks, deisik. You have been around bitcoin (at least your forum registration seems to show it) longer than me, but you still don't seem to fucking understand what is bitcoin? Crazy that. Some people take time, right?
In essence, you should realize by now that bitcoin is better than gold in terms of its scarcity, portability, verifiability, divisibility, programability, lack of a need to endure as much third-party risk or costs and likely other characteristics, too.
Likely, because of its physicality, gold has remained somewhat easy to manipulate with the passage of time. I would not be negating that bitcoin has done decently well in maintaining decent value with the passage of time, even though it has been manipulated through its history.
I already covered that point above.
It does not need to feel like bitcoin is any kind of killer currently. Don't get so anxious. Bitcoin is very early in its level of maturity and adoption, so you can choose to bet on it, or you can sit on the fence or you can bet against it. The choice is yours. Just don't come whining 4-10 years later when you cannot even afford .1BTC because you failed/refused to invest while it is still relatively cheap.
Of course, you do not need to transact much with bitcoin either, especially if there are a lot of inferior stores of value that you can use for your payment processors, but sure, there are likely going to develop more and more payment mechanisms with bitcoin too, even though perhaps it may not end up getting used a lot for small transactions if there are other payment mechanisms that are available.
On the other hand, there may be some people and some situations in which it might be way better to use bitcoin rather than some other mechanism that either relies on a third party or there might be some other questions regarding the real time transfer of value or the ability to reverse the transaction, let's say for example there is an oil tanker that has $100million in value, and it might be better to transact in bitcoin for such a seller to feel comfortable about making sure that the value of the bitcoin is received before delivering such oil to the buyer.
Of course, there can be a lot of other examples in which bitcoin might be the better vehicle for the transfer of value, but just using the oil tanker as one possible example.
