Yeah, it's a very nice metric. But I don't think it's related to adoption. I mean if bitcoin is used as a currency and quickly changing hands you wouldn't expect many "bitcoin days destroyed" (as opposed to when e.g. exchange is reorganizing its funds)
Which is what the "days destroyed" measurement looks to compensate for https://blockchain.info/charts/bitcoin-days-destroyed https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Days_Destroyed
