It has potential and is way on it's way, although the biggest argument against it is the instability. What used to be an underground open-source project for buying drugs and at a low value turned into a worldwide phenomenon, whereas big businesses and chains are starting to accept it. It's a matter of time before government organizations and other entities start taking it seriously too.
I personally wish I had saved up the little I mined back in the day, but uh well.

Re: Is Bitcoin About To Change The World? - Meseret - 12-11-2013
Is that some sort of a game?
Re: Is Bitcoin About To Change The World? - ketchim - 12-11-2013
Game ??......... No !
The number of companies taking Bitcoin payments is increasing from a small base,
and a few payment processors such as Atlanta-based Bitpay :
are making real money from the currency.
But it's difficult to get accurate numbers on conventional transactions.......
