Simple: it disrupts the world vision they have grown comfortable (and in
many cases, rich) from.

That'll take a while.  Bitcoin's market volume is still just a drop in the
bucket compared to, again, that which made quite a few of these people rich
and keeps them there.  Even on an exponential curve, assuming Bitcoin grows
to somewhat bigger than the conventional markets (unlikely, given the
finite total possible number of bitcoins, unless sub-bitcoin currencies
take off in similar speed), we're probably talking multiple decades given
how far behind it is.
