I would like to know what are the things that help Bitcoin to grow , and when I say grow I mean price rise.  ???

I mean , would making a website that sell digital goods for Bitcoin helps ? or it won't make any difference , I'am really new at this and not sure how it works  ;D

just only digital goods?you  can  sell anything that with Bitcoin payment.first, you begin with digital  goods, after you can sell all you want with the developed Express.

Bitcoin growth is not indicated by its price. Price of bitcoin in the long run is determined by the supply-demand equation of economics. But in the short run it is affected by several micro factors.

Growth of Bitcoin will take place when more and more merchants will accept Bitcoin and they'll be able to pay with Bitcoin as well. That is to say, not like what overstock or tiger direct is doing today. Get paid in Bitcoin and dump it in the exchange. So we need more businesses coming out of Bitcoin ecosystem, rather than outsider FIAT giants accepting Bitcoin.

Dollars, YEN, YUAN. :P

By spreading the word about BTC it helps. It gets more attention. It gets fresh FIAT.

Making a website helps. Selling goods for bitcoin helps. But what will make btc price rise, bitcoin adoption. All over the world.

we need more atms is more places so it becomes more liquid. People need to know they can get bitcoin or exchange their bitcoin quickly in order for btc to ever catch fire on a big level.

Nothing. The game is about to end.
Look to the charts on http://bitcoin.sipa.be/

Game about to end ? what does that means ;D  RIP Bitcoin ?

In short: yes.

It will help if you start selling for bitcoin but price depends on so many factors that its impossible to predict.
It is mostly psyhology tho.

In my personal opinion , if you are looking for long term (more than 10 years) bitcoin bull market , the most critical thing might be not on bitcoin itself .
bitcoin is only the most basic part of the whole decentralized eco system which includes TOR , bitmessage , openbazaar , darkwallet , storj ,twister etc . People use bitcoin to transfer value in it .  More robust eco system will make bitcoin better growing up .
So , keep our efforts to boost the whole eco system to help Bitcoin to grow.
 

It is all about expanding the userbase and having more uses for Bitcoin.

Even if bitcoins are used to convert your dollars to buy lollipops and then convert back to dollars the bitcoin market has just expanded by that small amount and expands the need and thus grows the price.

The only thing that will make bitcoin grow is more adoption bt both merchants and consumers. Keep telling everyone you know and meet about the benefits of btc and it will slowly grow naturally.

The gov's attitude to Bitcoin.
Get certificate code from ISO.
More applications make good user experience for the public!
Wallet is easy to use and best security!

The price will rise organically with more demand so we need more places to be able to spend out bitcoins and the more places that crop up the more people will get involved with btc as they see it as a viable and useful currency.

I think, it is very flexible and you can buy it online and also sale it online. You can also use it for online investment etc.

You have the ability to do it, we all do. Make Bitcoin your primary payment method. Do your best to get away from fiat currencies and save a couple for the future. This will take dedication to Bitcoin because it will not always be easy and you will pay some extra fees for doing it but in the end it will be worth it.

Bitcoin adoption increases + All users save a couple of bitcoins for the user ---> Bitcoin Price Explosion.

Bitcoin adaption on a global scale.

More exchangers that offer competitive rates, more online sites and services accepting bitcoin, creation of marketplace that only accepts bitcoin, higher adoption rate, fiat devaluation,

only the honey badger can do this.

if you look at all the charts.. most coins rise in the winter including BTC  ;)

I think that could help bitcoin rose, many enthusiasts and many investors :)
and its legalization of bitcoin in every country :)

Sponsor a Sports Team as big as the Seattle Seahawks!

And you need to onboard people.  Like back in dialup days.  I don't know how many Trumpet Winsock scripts and shit I wrote for friends, family, neighbours ect.   Taking around copies of Netscape that I acquired from a CD stuck to the front of a computer mag.

Thats where we are now. 

Help your mates get onboard.  Instead of paying them back in fiat, offer to pay them back in BTC.

It's healthly but voliatile.

Make it a university subject with 1 unit in it or merge it with statistics or accounting.

Silk road clones came up pretty quickly.
If you look at the transactions/day chart, they seem to be on an increasing trend.

for the bitcoin grow, we need more people who invest in it, more place where we can change our btc easy, if people know btc is easy to use and if its easy to get money fast, the bitcoin's price will grow believe me !
