Even now in 2017, why is bitcoin *still* not accepted as a major currency?

Everything has it's time so lets be patient, on the other hand bitcoin is making great progress, some countries started accepting bitcoin as a way of payment like Japan.
India made bitcoin their primary currency to use because the government is oppressing their people that's why they've use virtual currency.
You see bitcoin is slowly progressing to that future you and i want.

Doesn't make any sense TBH. We should've seen it starting to replace conventional currencies by now.

I think this is only due to the questions about​ the bitcoin for it's legality .
Because most of the people are accepting bitcoin fully but the people living in the country in Thier government didn't make the clear to use the bitcoin legally or legally , I mean there is always a doubtful​ question for the government and also for bitcoin whether the bitcoin is legal or legal in his country .
Well here the best thing is to wait and support bitcoin and explain everyone about the advantage of the bitcoin so that government forcefully accept bitcoin officially like Japan government .

why in haste? everything works in time and process; its gradual.
you don't just expect all countries to start approving things at ones wish.
besides fiat is still very much in function. it will take some time.
it takes you and I to spread it.

it depend on the country really, some country are accepting it as a currency like japan and i fact the volume of trading there is the higheest, other country are too stabborn and still see it as a illegal thing for cp and terrorism etc...

if everyone was like japan we could have already an adopted bitcoin on a large scale, basically it's all up to the government not to the users like i was believing in the past

bitcoin is advance currency and many people didn't know about it in backward areas.if everyone know it then it can be accepted as major currency.it could not replace the conventional currency because conventional currency has widespread access and everybody know it.

what's even more shocking is that there's suddenly so much infighting, while we were always peaceful before.

Bitcoin is no longer fighting other currencies, it's fighting itself.
