Title: [2014-12-21] The Conversation: 2014 was a bad for BTC, 2015 not likely better Post by: pawel7777 on December 21, 2014, 05:31:41 PM Quick summary of the 2014 + some 2015 prediction, nothing new really:
2014 was a bad year for Bitcoin and 2015 is unlikely to be much better http://theconversation.com/2014-was-a-bad-year-for-bitcoin-and-2015-is-unlikely-to-be-much-better-35759 (http://theconversation.com/2014-was-a-bad-year-for-bitcoin-and-2015-is-unlikely-to-be-much-better-35759) Title: Re: [2014-12-21] The Conversation: 2014 was a bad for BTC, 2015 not likely better Post by: Chef Ramsay on December 21, 2014, 05:54:07 PM Quote If Apple and the banks face problems getting Apple Pay accepted, the challenge ahead for Bitcoin is many times more daunting. Simply being a clever or novel technology is not going to be enough. If 2014 was a tough year for Bitcoin, it doesn’t seem likely that 2015 will be any better. ^That's his thesis right here after going through the bad news from 2014, so not really any concrete projections of 2015 not being much better. It's easy for these writers to look at a picture of something in total hindsight and then make speculation for what's to lie ahead. The amount of intestinal fortitude that many have developed over the last year is something that will stick with them for the rest of their lives. ;)Title: Re: [2014-12-21] The Conversation: 2014 was a bad for BTC, 2015 not likely better Post by: LiteCoinGuy on December 21, 2014, 09:30:06 PM 2014 was a bad year for BTC ? i guess the author is a moron or just an idiot. ::)

Reads more like tabloid fluff, certainly not up to their normal standards. Possibly it (The Conversation) was the worst performing intellectual asset of 2014, and 2015 not likely better.

To accept bitcoin all you need is a smart phone. I'm guessing you need a lot more with Applepay.

Last year it was people's excitement and gold fever which hyped the price. This year price is where huge bag holders want it to be. Considering decline whole year popularity and awareness still grew considerably good for bitcoin. And what will be next year?? Let's wait and see.
