Green is showing what happened as far as I can tell.  Thanks for the suggestion about OpenBazar.  I hope others will suggest some more items to add or help me to keep this list updated.

Why would Gmaxwell quit as a main committer? Does it mean he is not a main core developer yet? Why the hell would he do that? he's one of the best in the game. What does it exactly mean for Bitcoin? I hope he is still around and submitting new stuff, I was waiting for the confidential transactions stuff so bad..

I guess links for detailed information are allowed but your referral or any promotion of your own blog/website etc... are not.
if they are legit and are from reliable sources then you can add them.

Openbazaar will be a real big one, we need a legal decentralized marketplace, where people can sell P2P stuff.

Dark markets are not an option for reputable vendors, but a legal marketplace is much more preferable, and it can really push up bitcoin's value 100 fold Smiley

If the genie gets out of the bottle, bitcoin can get 100,000$/BTC really fast.

And if openbazaar gets implemented on mobile phones, then 1 billion $ / BTC Smiley

Yes and you can see so many big Giants who are interested in Bitcoin and I don't Bitcoin will ever be the same once these investors steps their foot into BTC it has almost reached the mainstream and I think by this is next time Bitcoin will be the talk of the town.

This news sounds all good in the way of bitcoin thus hopefully bring the price up this year and not just a fizzle in the new year. The way it should go is with a bang bringing in the new year. As many have said, 2016 is the year of bitcoin!
