Most of the monetary value that lies in Bitcoin is still mostly speculative value, ie. people are paying out the ass to buy bitcoin, in the hope of making their money back by selling it later. This shows it is still an immature currency, and there are a lot of growing pains to be had before it can be used in the mainstream.
EDIT: Though really, the rise of quantum computing and it's potential for decrypting things exponentially faster than normal computers makes me worried that anything reliant on current cryptography is in jeopardy.
