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.
