We just don't understand yet what we can do with it, I think we need to see bitcoin as the raw protocol and now we have to build layers on top of it to handle security/transactions properly, what those layers are and what it looks like is yet to be decided. Any company can now be the company for bitcoin that google was to the internet if they solve the right problem.
It will be possible to do everyday payments with it, it's not that because that bitcoin is decentralised that no centralised value can exist with it. It's just so beautiful that you can interact with it any you want. Take for example mint.com that has to acquire and integrate with each and every bank separately, with bitcoin anyone can build a mint.com with the blockchain. It has the potential to change the world in ways we cannot imagine yet.
I'm even dreaming about open governments where we can actually see the governments spending... I'm a dreamer.
