[Infographic] 2016 seems to be promising for bitcoin

2016 will be the year for Bitcoin, I can feel it!

I always thought LTC is the 2nd largest alt coin by market cap. I'm wrong. It's Ripple coin and what is that?

Checking this infographic seems that it is a bit outdated in the last sections especially to bitcoin competitors where ripples has a maket cap of $ 281,235,916 based on google and in the OP's picture link it says 154M which is a huge difference.

How is the feeling ? I'm yet to feel 2016 Wink

it's possible 201 seem to be prommising for bitcoin.although only few countries in the world to legalize bitcoin will continue to grow. and Japan followed would legalize bitcoin. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-exchanges-in-japan-must-be-registered-under-new-proposed-regulations/

I find it interesting that BTC transaction volumes has surpassed WU already, and it's catching up to Paypal pretty quickly.

Yeah, but bear in mind that WU/PayPal are mostly genuine transfers between 2 parties, while BTC includes everything including transfers between wallets, faucet payments etc.

Wow, I didn't know that Satoshi Nakamoto has been nominated for the 2016 Nobel Prize in Economics.

Same here, probably the most interesting thing of all in the info-graphic. I kinda figured the rest.

also consider that the user base of paypal should be much large than bitcoin, so they would be even at best

because one has 3M user perhaps, but many are just holding, paypal account are over 150M, even accounting that there are clone, is still much greater

There's some pretty cool stuff in that infographic and it's pretty well presented, readable and not too cluttered. Thanks for sharing.

OP, are you the author of this infographic? That's an awesome job and a very good summary of the past as well as a valuable indication of what the future might be. That said I found at least one incorrection: i.e. towards the end, under the "setbacks" subtitle, Taiwan didn't really ban bitcoin. The government went back on its decision just a few days after.
Here are the latest news on that topic, from November 13: http://www.coindesk.com/taiwan-finance-regulation-bitcoin-ban/

this Infographic is really promising
i hope that the bitcoin price will increase more in this new year

Ripple does not belong to decentralized cryptocurrencies at all imo, all Ripple coins were created at start - maybe thats why some banks are more open minded to Ripple than Bitcoin Cheesy

. Except for this mistake, I like the picture.

BTCitcoin at the moment looking promising with more strong growth ever i also think 2016 will set new value for it and make it more valuable with more bigger community everything going into positive direction so no doubt it will be more bright year than ever.

i'm agree with that,on that graphic show that bitcoin is more strong and start to compete some alternate payment like western union and paypal,i think really important for us to know some graphic like this,its make us more confident with bitcoin,and get stronger for adopt it,also make me proud to be bitcoin adopter.

That is great infographic i also will do agree with this 2016 will be year of the Bitcoin and it will bring more positive news and changes so it will grow more stronger than before.

Firstly, I thought that there's some "astrological" prediction being made for Bitcoins, but then I saw the infographic, and would like to say that it's very promising, mentioned each facts needed for every newbie to legendary person to be known about Bitcoins' growth...

Honestly, I think the infographic was created to show some positivity. And it does. But I don't think it serves well as a prediction for 2016. My guess is that JV investments will be much lower than in the current year, and that at least one major BTC company will go under, as too many of them are addicted to JV funds, which will eventually run out.

thanks OP for sharing this. good information in there
hoping for a better year in 2016 for BTC
