I think that all the right steps for bitcoin to go mainstream are actually being made right now, but all depends on the role bitcoin will take in the world. Right now we still don't know if bitcoin will remain a financial asset, or if it will ever become a global currency and used for payments worldwide both in stores and online, or maybe just online.

If BTC role will be to become a finaccial asset, then it's already becoming mainstream, because the real traders and investors at Wall Street are aware of bitcoin, and want to get their hands on it. Futures are arriving, and we will soon see ETF's, so this will be the same as saying that bitcoin is mainstream in the financial market.

If the role will be to become a payment method, then it will only be mainstream once we see sites like amazon using it, or we see a lot of physical stores accepting it. Of course that if this is the role for bitcoin, then we will have to way a lot longer before we can say it ever goes mainstream, since on this case, BTC will have to be used by the majority of the population, and not just by a small niche of financial investors.

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Bitcoin is already the most popular cryptocurrency but it will take a lot of time before ordinary people start using it. However, people are becoming slowly more and more aware of current financial system flaws. It's a matter of time before Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency will be used by everyone in our daily lives. It is possible in the next 20 years.
