2016, The Year of Bitcoin?

[Klima]

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.

I hope what you predict is correct. I do hope to see Bitcoin being mainstreamed.

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 agree. I will go with the majority since the original and the XT version is somewhat similar. I will have to consider if there's another forks.

I do not think that 2016 is going to be the year of the Bitcoin because this year has not been much for us, only if the Bitcoin is going rise again then maybe.
I think that 2017 is going to be the year of the Bitcoin in the end.

I am going to forget about 2016 already because not much has happened only the halving has happened what really was something hyped.
Lets move on to 2017 and see what that year is going to bring us.

So you are not satisfied with the current price level? I hope you remember what was the price last year and if you compare to it current price then its almost double the price, and I think this is a good year for bitcoin.

Whatever said bitcoin is growing every year the price, the fact that it is necessary to understand that the bitcoin market is very fragile, but despite the market crisis, cryptocurrency growing.

2016 is not the year of the bitcoin, I think that its not possible anymore the bitcoin had a good future a but its not what it was back in the days.
Lets hope that 2017 will be the year of the bitcoin.

I get shocked to hear that kind of statements from people living in bitcoin world, because every know how bitcoin has progressed in this year and how much percent it has grown in value but if still someone says that this has not been a year of bitcoin then what else should a year bring for us?

I am shocked too hear this. Lets suppose someone introduce a new concept and service, like a sidechain that provides a company a place to move its own private currency around, smart contracts so that you can guarantee that your coins are only spent when you receive your "x".  The new services that should be making waves in the non-crypto community and within don't get the use and attention because too many people didn't understand the foundation below it. 

Only than bitcoin popularity may be little low.

I'm waiting for that bitcoin will rise in price by year's end. 2016 was not calm, but you have not seen bitcoin too low. If this year will produce bitcoin an extreme point, the price will be released on the new high positions.

[MyBTT]

2016 was calm after the Halving hype, and then Bitfinex happened. Defenitely not the year of bitcoin. But maybe we will see something big happen at the start of next year or late this year.

Well others here only looking in a single path without realizing how much impact bitcoin gave us this year.

They are blind by some important matter that happen in bitcoin this year and all they want is price increase.

But this 2016 was given us big profit since the start of 2016 the price is below $400 and now gives us additional 40% increase of the price we can say that bitcoin is great this year and we are hoping that next year would be more income coming to us.

For you it might be 40% but there are a lot people that managed to more than double their money within a year due to the peak that we have experienced back in June of this year. This year has been fantastic for those that managed to make a good profit. Perhaps that when SW gets activated, and more clear information about the roll out of LN, that the price will take another jump in 2017. Patience is what we need.

Well, in overall we have already an increase of a 100% for this year alone, so you were able to buy the cheapest price this year for sure you have already doubled your money easily, so with that progress, it is just fair and right to call 2016 the year of bitcoin.

[Bitcoinbro]

2016 was not the year of the bitcoin at all if you ask me not so much good has happened in 2016 for bitcoin I think just little things.
In 2017 I hope it will be year of the bitcoin and we have better luck with more value in the bitcoin.

Why do you say that 2016 is not a year of bitcoin? Just because of the bitfinex hacking incident? Or do you have any other reason to say that this year is not a good year for bitcoin. Because for me, I can say that I'm pretty satisfied on what happened to bitcoin this year. But I'm too much sure that there are more good things to come for next year.

Well if you noticed the post in Micro Earnings about last 2 years ago, Faucets back then give a generous amount of bitcoin  because  the value of it was cheaper compared now, But I wonder if you compared it right you still have more bitcoins back then compared to having it now. I stopped claiming Satoshis from faucets a few months ago because I can barely earn about 20000 Satoshi which is barely over .10$ because it is pointless when you get there.

[newcoins1978]

This was definitely not the year of the bitcoin if you compare it to other years but of course it was also not the worst year at all.
We got spoiled in other years so maybe that's why it feels like this year was lacking alot.

Nothing comes easily in Bitcoin. But for me it definitely was a fantastic year, so yes, in that aspect it was indeed my "The Year Of Bitcoin".

Its still quite a  good year  to bitcoin  because  this year  has the even of halving  which  the price of bitcoin somewhat  increase from $400+ mark to $600 which is  good   to see  on this  year  so we  could somehow assume that 2017 would be also a good year  but still it wont guarantee us because we dont know the future.

I hope we will see a developement like 2016 every year in the future. A plus of 50% is really nothing anybody can complain about.
And maybe 2017 will pass without any hacks, then I see the possibility that it will become even more profitable than 2016 was.
At least that are my hopes.

What is the criteria then for a year to become a "year of bitcoin"? May I know since the born of bitcoin, what year/s grabs the title of "year of bitcoin" and kindly explain it.

Let's put some make sense here mate.

Well I guess some good adoptions are going to be considered for telling a year is going to be a year of bitcoin. And I think steam's acceptance of bitcoin is going to be already good to be considered to be a great year for bitcoin this year. But still there are more months to come and for sure a lot of good things with bitcoin is still going to happen that time.

Steam accepting Bitcoin was a pretty big thing, however I don't know if it had any sort of noticeable effect on the value at the time. I personally think that it's a cool thing and I've used it in the past and it works quite well in my opinion, so chances are I'll be using my Bitcoin to buy steam games a lot more in the future from now on.

It just raised the bitcoin price just a few percentage points at the news announcement. There is no long lasting effect.

[italianobitcoin]

At this moment i think that 2016 is not the year of the Bitcoin because if you look back at it not much has really happened when I expected much more to happen.
I now have to put my hopes on 2017 and hoping that that is going to be the year of the Bitcoin.

[wikenpp]

2016 has not been the year of the Bitcoin and I do not think that it is ever going to happen because this year in general has not done much for the users. Hopefully 2017 can become a much better year for the Bitcoin because people like me are getting a bit tired of waiting for the Bitcoin to rise again.

The term "the year of Bitcoin" is for everyone different.

For you it might not be a fantastic year, while for other people it's a great year as they have seen the price go up considerably.

Either way, people's definition of what they consider to be the year of Bitcoin, is based on the price and how much profit they have made this year.
