I feel like we're still so far away from $1000. Bitcoin hasn't raised in value that much this year as you are precidicting it will happen next year. I think we'll just have to wait and see what next year will bring, if you are correct about 2016 that's when I'll believe we can reach those numbers in the future.
Yes 2016 is the year for bitcoin is going to bring us many wonderful things. The halving would be a one of the reasons for that. Comparing to 2013 spikes, bitcoin is now in more stronger with more people are adopting it and using it for day to day life.
I guess one of those wonders already happened in 2015 itself.
Till halving, I too believe people will keep on buying bitcoins for their own reasons. It may extend after halving also. Because once the up wave gets triggered it would take more time to get settle down.
