Bitcoin becomes hopelessly tied to extremist ideaologies that are rejected by a majority of people. The only people to adopt it are extremists, scam artists, and those trying to make a quick profit off of the fringe types. Bitcoin officialy becomes the "currency of teh crazy." Widespread adoption fails.

lack of interest is what all the other ones lead to

Why don't you have the most obvious one: lack of merchant support. If people can't use it to buy and sell stuff they care about from vendors they want to deal with then it's not going to get where it needs to go.

I think you need to add "a new system emerges", ie. not one that is necessarily better than Bitcoin inherently, but more practical and appealing to law abiding citizens (I'm thinking Google mobile payments and the like)

Of the options provided, becoming a store of value seems the most likely, however i would not consider that a fail, because as a store of value it would also, in my imagination, be a currency just kind of a different 'tier' of currency.

Of course I would not want to clutter up the Bitcoin blockchain with tiny transactions well within what I can afford to pay from my bitNicKeL pocket/purse, heck I would not even bother the Martians with such trivia by using Martian BotCoins instead of pocket change.

But come the day I have enough MBC to stash away that they could buy a whole Bitcoin, heck yeah I'd like to pick up another BiTCoin to enhance the family fortune, maybe even use that as collateral to pick up a nice income property...
