The last years were the strongest indicator that bitcoin will not become any kind of usable currency. Seeing that it is as volatile as ever I'm honestly not sure what bitcoin can even still become except yet another abstract plaything to "invest" (bet) money on, the very thing it has been for a while now.
Also while it is decentralized, the reality of how it is used is very much not. The typical use case is buying and selling it via an exchange, not much else. Depending on where you live you have to reveal more information about yourself to "just buy bitcoin" than you have to when opening a bank account.
