2016, The Year of Bitcoin?

[ASHLIUSZ]

There were lots of factors involved like Chinese investment  in price increase and not just halving bubble.  I still wonder what will be the exactly time when halving effects will be on bitcoin prices.

Agree here. I don't believe that halving is the main reason of the price increase. If does then why still it decrease? It's a clear movement of big investors out there that can move the price in the market with one big pump or dump. Halving speculations is not that strong. It's strong in statement of other people especially some post here but in actual they are not buying coins.

halving is the actual reason of price increase in bitcoin but the price of bitcoin from the last week is not increasing because of the hack news of bitfinex, a lot of people felt fear and they now searching for a safe platform for their coins to save, and I hope in the coming days the price of bitcoin will once again start to increase

Still believes that halving is the actual reason why the price increase started to bloom above $500? Show some valid basis then. You are just one of the halving fanatics out there that throwing away good facts about the recent price increase is due to halving.

Taking into consideration the block reward halving and interest of major companies in the blockchain 2016 might turn out to be the golden year for Bitcoin. And that will be evident through its price at the market place.

I believe that in 2016 for the Bitcoin was the starting point in the development. Many companies, banks, investors, and just normal ordinary people have more confidence in Bitcoin. Information about Bitcoin has become more and common. Many events already occurred, even though only six months have passed.

[Kevin77]

If the halving is before the year of 2016 you can say that the year of 2016 is not the year of the bitcoin because after the halving there can happen allot to the bitcoin
we wont know what the price will affect or other things wil happen. We dont evne know if it affects the price only the miners.

Exactly what I think, the halving is what will decide whether 2016 is a year of bitcoins or not. If the price goes up after halving then yes this is year of bitcoins but if not then maybe 2017 when new sites are opened which accept btc.

Still halving is not the source. It's just build speculations. If big whales do nothing, those speculations are nothing too. So instead of waiting for halving, wait for the price rally that will be started by those big fish.

That is right. But 2016 is also a year for the bitcoin. We will have halving and also the block size increase.

[ausbit]

For me 2016 is already year of bitcoin, cause price this year reach $750 and it's still not over, maybe we will see price that more than $750 this year? Who knows..

I can assure you that around halving or around Christmas the price of bitcoins would fly to over 1000$ ( though my personal speculation ) and for me as the price crosses 1000$ mark, becomes the year of bitcoins.

Absolutely 2016 is going to be a halving year for bitcoin. Most Bitcoin users get involved actively here because they can earn very good profits this year.

[Achargeturry78]

So far the year has been going okay, even though BTC is stagnant now some good alt coin action. I think we set a new floor with BTC so thats always a postiive hopefully bitcoin prices at halving by 2013 the last, it could happen again this year. in 2013 the price could rise to touch $ 1,000 hopefully happen in this year many people who say that 2016 was the year of bitcoin. I hope so,but after December last year, the price of bitcoin who previously had touched $ 500 now only $ 390, even down

[ning_chang]

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.

I hope so. I just want to see again the price of bitcoin is rise up to $1,000 like before. Because the price of btc now. Is not good to me. 😃 so i hope the price before will come back again. To sell al my bitcoin in my wallet. Because it's a long time to wait the price will be increasing to $1,000 . It will be happy again. 😉

That's an understatement. The price  going from 380 to almost 700 dollars is more then ok. I am very happy finally the price is getting a realistic value although that is subjective to say the least. With the price beign over 600 dollars for weeks now i d o hope we will find a stable price above 600 dollars. Preferably above 650 dollars. If this will happen this year would be a great succes.

I think this year will be the year of bitcoin. behold, now bitcoin prices remained steady at a price of $ 650, I'm not sure when the price of bitcoin until the price of $ 800 it will be a year of bitcoin. and maybe this year bitcoin price will not be more than $ 900. if 2017 bitcoin prices have gone up to $ 1000, maybe it will be the beginning of the year bitcoin

[lixer]

For me 2016 is already year of bitcoin, cause price this year reach $750 and it's still not over, maybe we will see price that more than $750 this year? Who knows..

Price may reach to $800 price at halving, and if it touches there the we can say that it is an year of bitcoin, as far now it was really boring year, but things started to change since last week.

It will reached if manipulators will help us reached that price. If we only rely on halving about price increase then that is impossible. Those people who have lots of coins can control the sequence in the bitcoin market.

Well, around halving I expect price to be around 900$ or so but not less than 800$ at least. Bitcoins having reached such a nice value this year so surely a nice year for bitcoins.

That could be right. But who knows. We are just passengers on this big ride and waiting for that big wave to come. Yes it is its year for we have grown users of this currency.

well so far,  i think that 2016 have been awesome year for bitcoin, steam accepts bitcoins, openbazaar works till this day, also halving in 2 weeks, this is really awesome years for bitcoin

and of course price, price was 450$ at start of year and 670$ at this moment and still going up, i think that is awesome thing as higer price means that more people will use bitcoins so that is good for bitcoin

We have only reached half of this year and have got the price rise from 380$ to 700$. Also we have halving this year. All these things will make 2016 the best year of bitcoins.

I think the price has already rise too much in the last two months, it is better for it to consolidate at current level.

no no, the price not rise much in this year due we still have one reason to expect the price could hits $ 1,000 in this year if that happened surely 2016 will be the year of bitcoin.

If you note then you will find that the price of bitcoin  is already doubled in the last four months, and you are also true, we need more increase in the value of bitcoin and if we think about halving then yes the price will increase much more and sooner will hit $1000.

[tyz]

I am pretty certain of it that price will reach higher levels this year. Why? Because there is so much economical uncertainty. The consequences from the Brexit, the Italian banks crises which was not really covered by mainstream media yet, the Chinese and Japanese economical problems, and so on. Also, the halving is around the corner which could bring another increase.

We are at the end of the semi annual of 2016 and I say many things happened. We didnt expect it to come to this great price. I hope the next half year will be more profitable and bountiful for us. Popularity is also going up. Good year.

Why didn't we expect it to reach that price? It is halving this year and we were all sure that we are going to see it bouncing back to prices where it went during the previous halving, which is why this is the year of bitcoin.

Yes if too much demand of bitcoins increase in market suddenly, then surely will increase the price of bitcoins too.
That been said, there is no reason why we can not believe that price increased due to halving.

To me 2016 has not been the year of the Bitcoin for me because in the beginning the price of the Bitcoin was stable for a very long time, after that the price was rising a bit and not long ago the price was rising very fast.
It is going to depend on the next couple of months and what will happen after the halving that is going to decide if this was the year of the Bitcoin.

[SquallLeonhart]

If we look at an overview of an year till date then it was really a very boring year, but the excitement and fun started from last month when price started to rise and touched $780, and hope that it continues in rest of the year too.
