I think adoption will be highly regional. I live in the bay area and a few businesses here and there are already starting to accept it. However when I visit my relatives in the south no one has even heard of it, and the businesses are not accepting it anywhere that I know of.

Well, there are still places in the world wherein no one has a definite idea or even the slightest knowledge about bitcoin, so we'll probably wait for a long time before people hop in the bitcoin train.
