What is your biggest hope regarding Bitcoin?

I think a better question is, "what is your biggest hope regarding cryptocurrencies?"

Well let me delve upon that idea.  My biggest hope for cryptocurrencies in general is for bitcoin to become more and more supported by people opening up more nodes on their computers, which will help transaction times out a lot better.  I think this is essential if we would want a mass adoption type of thing going on, because if bitcoin transaction speed remains this slow, it will keep businesses from mass accepting those fancy bitcoin debit cards we all would love to use.  If we have to wait there for the confirmations to come through, that's no better than holding up a line by writing a check.

Also I hope that there will be another couple of coins that can be developed (or possible already have) that ensure a more secure transaction of currency than just bitcoins basic blockchain.  Since it is so easy to readily track where every coin has come from and where it will be going in the future, I feel like there is a need for a more anonymous type of coin.  I think cryptonotes will take the cake on this area since there is so much being done by making both the sender and the receiver both completely anonymous.

1. more users and people start trusting bitcoin
2. stop using bitcoin as a investment (by lots of people) instead of using it as a currency

Yeah, bitcoin is a combination of money (as a currency to pay your stuff) and gold (as a commodity in investment). It has made bitcoin be more special and thats why people love it more than fiat.
I hope there are many shops that accept bitcoin in every corner of the world, or atleast all governments must legalize it, so bitcoin related business could grow.

bitcoin has a high price above $1000, bitcoin can replace fiat money and everyone using bitcoin

You are dreaming! hehe Good dream. I hope gov takes more open stance to bitcoin. Bank could adopt bitcion as well. Then the public will be comfortabel to adopt bitcoin.

Mine? Steady adoption but not so much that it leads those in power to see bitcoin as something that should be controlled and manipulated.

[Kprawn]

Mainstream Bitcoin merchant adoption for every product and service on this planet.  ...When BTC is accepted everywhere, the individual adoption will grow and we would go

mainstream with Bitcoin. It would also be great to hear from Satoshi on what he thinks of all these banks getting in on the action and stealing the "experiment"

My single biggest hope for Bitcoin, will always be to put money and access to FINANCIAL services on a global scale in reach for EVERYONE.

user friendly, price doesn't fluctuate a lot. No security issue.

[a7mos]

My hope is a stable price without surprising movements
And I think that will happen after few years

[Amph]

stable high price, and stable high security, with a more distributed hashpower all around and therefore big adoption

High price isnt a target, but its a result of mass adoption by world people. So just keep spreading about bitcoin to your family and friends, maybe bitcoin price could reach the moon in future

Stay anonymity, decentralization and low fee transaction forever!
and like everyone hope, mass adoption.

[Mieehayii]

the price came to $100,000/BTC, and I'm rich!

[pjsonowal]

MY BIGGEST HOPE THAT BITCOIN CLIMBS TO 1000$ AGAIN AND NEVER COMES DOWN THEN >>>> :p

[Rude Boy]

I hope bitcoin will be more adopted in india near future. And hope the price will slightly increase to $300 - $400

stable high price will make no sense, stable high security i agree with that.

[Searing]

break even on all elec from 2013 till when end date comes and the price of the all the miners when the last of my home miners (titan's ltc to btc) goes do doorstop status

and ROI continues (at whatever price of LTC and BTC or above) so that I continue to get ROI off my KNC equip from Jupiter (btc) and titan(s) (ltc to btc) and
can say screw you KNC!!!!

I roi'd in spite of your best efforts to screw me with late titan delivery and crappy firmware and flaky product (hmmmm....may be scar'd from asic mining)

(good thing I don't hold a grudge huh?)

anyway that is my Minimum expectations of me thinking small ..as to anything above that in thinking big..for like BTC or LTC pop'ing in price etc I've no frigging clue

the ways of 'crypto' are mysterious to me all my success is due to 'dumb luck' imho

[OmegaStarScream]

It's basically all about going mainstream , I don't think price is going anywhere if we don't go mainstream . Halving block reward won't do anything alone if there is no demand on the supply .
Hopefully we will get a stable price (or at least a price changes that poor people could manage and afford)
