If such silly thing as gold became money and paper printed by governments became money then a tool possessing qualities that bitcoin possess is bound to become money eventually.

Only two real risks. Crypto weakness or Bitcoin 2.0

Gold is intrinsically similarly useless as bitcoin. We used it as money only because it was durable and rare. We used paper as money because strong, trustworthy entity declared that its supply will be limited and controlled. Bitcoin has this basic necessary quality but also much much more.
