2016, The Year of Bitcoin?

[dothebeats]

Hope so. I want to see again the $1000 price and hoping btc xt will gone forever coz it really hurts the price.

XT is not hurting price, price depends on so many factors that you can't know what have most impact on price
XT is just vote in one debate

I think the ongoing blocksize debate will keep happening forever, I don't see how some people are waiting for some sort of conclusion. Due Bitcoin's open source nature everything is open for debate constantly, so we should focus on trying to improve Bitcoin and ignore those that constantly talk about this or that blocksize mb limit as ideal.

Unfortunately, this talks prove that we are ready to see different perspectives and tackle about what need to be done as a community. What is quite unhealthy in such discussions of ideas is that people tend to go personal about it, not even thinking of what's good and will benefit all. On the XT-Core debate, I see some people close-mindedly defend their ideas without opening up on some solutions which are plausible too. That's where the drama begins: close-minded people not accepting any other ideas to be freely discussed upon.

There is always a possibility that bitcoin will reach $1000 again but so many people will dump it would crash again.

[Minecache]

So long as Bitcoin is limited to 7 transactions a second I cannot see it going anywhere next year apart from down the drain.

I hope bitcoin will reach again 1000 mark by july 2016 after the halving of block reward. Due to the shortage in supply and also with the increasing demand of bitcoin as it will be accepted by more merchants by then.

Um, yeah, that's not gonna happen. It's good to have dreams though. Dreams help people muddle through painfully boring lives.

Time to resurrect my thread and say that my predictions are starting to look rather good, in light of the current price increase.

Of course I didn't expect such a big move so fast, but I guess no-one did. And yes, this could be just a pump & dump too, but even so I would expect the price to be higher afterwards than where it started.

[Bitcoinpro]

the real surge has started almost perfectly to make 2016 the Year of the Bitcoin that will go down in the history books 1 AD BTC

It is hoped

As I see Bitcoin's movement towards price and adoption, I think 2016 will definitely be the year of Bitcoin. Maybe its price will go up above the $1000 mark. So I'm very optimistic and going to hold my BTC until it is the right time.

$1000? That is a lot! for 1 bitcoin it is like a price of gold and not just a coin of gold a big chunk of gold. I love that idea of being optimistic though. Hope that happens.

The bear market has lasted long enough. I predict 2016 is the year where bitcoin finally breaks through, both in price and in mainstream adoption.

The fork issue is a distraction. It won't kill bitcoin. The majority will eventually choose what fork they want to use, whether it is the original, or XT, or some third option.

I see the fork issue as silly infighting which only hurts bitcoin. I want bitcoin to succeed, that's what I care about, not what version of BTC I use. I will go with the majority, whichever fork is chosen.

It all depends on whether the current BTC jump will fuse with BTC jump which will generated due to expected halving. If this takes place, $3k BTC, here we come.

[Clint]

That's what I thought, but it appears bitcoin is breaking through right now from $200 to $460. I am shocked why and how this happened, and I just started a thread asking this. Hope I can get answers.

What do you guys think the price will be at the end of 2015, lets settle on that before we talk about 2016.  I hope more and more people use Bitcoin every day I just don't think it will become mainstream until at least 2025 if it survives that long.

I'm guessing about 600 usd.

The price at the end of 2015, will probably be between the $500 - $600 mark. I'm guessing that the closer we are to the next halving, the more the price will rise. But that is just my theory. I could be wrong.

500 at the very least, i would say to not be unrealistic, a 500-1k range is the most looking right thing that it might happen, but if the market go crazy again we may see a new ath, before the end of the year

[BitsandBites]

Well I hope also that 2016 is the Year of BTC.

If I I buy some one BTC now than in 2016 I have earn 500 dollar more with out doing a thing.

[btckold24]

i dont fully agree but think your a moron if you dont have 5+ btc at these prices just to hold and see

2015 is the year of turning point for bitcoin price comes out of bear market. 2016 is the year for bitcoin to be reported more in main stream media and used more as a currency.

2015 is the year of turning point for bitcoin price comes out of bear market. 2016 is the year for bitcoin to be reported more in main stream media and used more as a currency.

I agree on the turn around year being 2015 - but I believe too 2016 more volatility in the price as the halving is happening pretty soon and people will speculate.
