Bitcoin news - Jan, 2016

[crazyivan]

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!

Oh yes, it s started great, -10% in a single day.

I know the price might of decreased but this could be a potential time to pick up some coins in the future. I feel bitcoin prices will start lower than are now in the new year but the implementation of various merchants and communities may prove me wrong in a short time frame.

Hey where did you get that BIP47 will be ready to use in Dec 2016? I can't wait for that BIP, I think it's my favorite, I can't wait for it to be deployed, it's going to be the ultimate disruption when it comes to agencies trying to do blockchain transaction research, something much needed to improve everyone's privacy.

I think the two things that would get my blood pumping faster, would be the official launch of OpenBazaar and then the Winkelvoss ETF. The Halving will be the cherry on the cake

for 2016. All-in-all it looks like we will be seeing a much better year for Bitcoin in 2016. The other side of the coin, and possibly the "downer" on this whole party... will be all the

"Private" ledgers being implemented in 2016 too...

Can you give me some more details. What are private ledgers?

green paper indicates that it is a task that is completed, while the black writing is a task that will come.
This is very good news for bitcoin users, this can be the science and the insights that we have

Bitcoin needs expanded privacy implemented, because it's not the criminals who need it but the honest people.

Honest people can be framed without privacy, so it is crucial.
