What 2016 holds for Bitcoin?

Since your own experience and opinion What should we expect from next year for bitcoin state?

i expect price to go in summer for 400 to 500 max in dollars and to be connected to ebay and paypal in max no much more and the diff of mining will increase in order to be able to become more rare the coins and more apareciated and its value and market rise the more valuable the coin is more market to it

I expect that bitcoin is going to the moon or anything close to it this summer with the block halving block reward , if nothing happens of course (like dumping millions of dollar of BTC etc .. ) also anyone knows if the U.S marshals dumped the BTC of Silk road or not yet ?

except only one thing, a nice value increase, i don't know what will be but there will be an increase, rest assured, and maybe we can have the old debate about the limit done by then

We know for sure it holds a halving. We know too that block size discussion will be back when we hit the date on those time-triggered BIP's. We also know almost for certain that the difficulty will increase Cheesy

The rest is just hypothesis/probable things.

If it gets on paypal and ebay that should spark the next bubble, the halving is also going to kick things off $500 is the minimum i should think

Hard to say. A big box with unknown happenings I would say. I hope most of them will be positive. The halvening at least should have at least a positive effect on Bitcoin's price.

I expect price stability and more use of in big places like yeah, paypal.
In 2016 there may happen new bubble but im sure it will not be bigger than past one.

There is already an (bad) article about this from Coindesk. It does not mention the halving at all. Nobody can be really certain. Some believe A, some believe B, etc. The halving is certainly going to have an effect on the price. The question is what that effect is going to be?

I don't think much will happen beside the price getting a bump higher due to the block halving. I'm interested in seeing how the miners will react and handle it if the price doesn't go up as much as they thought it would.

I expect more adoption and acceptance and surely increase in price.This current trend of increase in price will be steady somehow and halving will take it to between 350-400 $ and gives it stability.This is not only my expectation but also I am sure about it.I will keep holding at least until halving to happen.

2016 holds more success and stability in prices.If we look at the previous years each year was more good and brought many opportunities and adoption to Bitcoin.Next year also will take Bitcoin many steps further towards bright future.

the block rewards being halved is the most important happening in 2016. other than that it most likely will be the same as 2015.

Like everyone said it before, the halving can reserve us good things, but only if something bad didn't happened before (like the SilkRoad's money dump).

No doubt by next year bitcoin would get more attention and adoption so many people will start using this innovation and price will go to next level $400-$500 and will get most stable price floor.

BTCitcoin is on natural growth and will get it to new edge about price floor i also expect the price around $500 or more as like so many big merchants showing positive interest to start accepting it as normal payment processor.

Oddly enough, a CoinDesk article with nearly identical title. Here's TL;DR: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1191177.msg12727306#msg12727306

I believe there will be another sudden increase and lastly decrease in the price which will result on being stable around 300 mark for some months and also expecting to see more shops accepting bitcoin as their only means of payments in their physical stores where in from where I am , there is already a shop which only accepts bitcoin and is very successful

Many surprises would happen on 2016 as halving and new ASICs would come to mine bitcoin. Some government are bank may start accepting bitcoin will boost the value of bitcoin to moon. Overall 2016 would be a year for bitcoin and it's community.

A significant price increase as a result of the halving & that's all I can confidently predict. Lots of other things could happen, companies/organisations adopting etc but the price will increase, I will tell you that for free
