2016 will be a boring year for bitcoin

[worhiper_-_]

The hype has started dying down, USD exchanges are dominated by Chinese onesinvestments are getting back to 2013 levels and the supposedly interesting bitcoin-related projects of 2015 didn't have a positive impact to adoption or the market.

I assume they don't agree with you : http://www.coindesk.com/2016-bitcoin-best-year/
I'm not sure how it will be a boring year with the halving block reward and the official opening of OpenBazaar honestly , and there will be more proabbly

[mrcashking]

Nothing to be judged this soon.I think it might go this way for some more years with a drop by drop success globally.
It always takes time for people to get used to something new.Maybe many new merchants ,businesses upcoming in this new year.

A writer at coindesk wrote an op-ed not in agreement with what I say? That isn't surprising. As if being optimistic about bitcoin hasn't been a popular opinion among bitcoin users Coindesk needs to pander to.

Maybe it is a boring year, may be not.

I will love to see Bitcoin more mainstream adopted, more services and all that. However, I am content with the situation right now; can earn some, can sell them for cash, and have a nice value. A year just like the one that have passed will not be bad in my view.

Even if Bitcoin remains a little exclusive as it is now it would be good.

It's just a matter of time if it will be boring or it will be a great year for Bitcoin Users, who knows. Hoping also for a mass adoption for Bitcoin this coming 2016.

I guess I do not agree with you, I think 2016 will be the day when all players online businesses will become bitcoin miners, because I think people will compete to collect btitcoin, in 2016 the price may be higher bitcoin

The price is already recovering from the 400 dollar correction, in fact it just went up another 6 dollars by the time I read this thread and we are at 430. 2016 is bullish as hell and what you said sounds exactly like what someone that just sold would say.

[Jet Cash]

2016 will be a great year because I've got my wallet working.

[USB-S]

Bitcoins price is directly related to the spending done on the network and the biggest spending event of the year just ended. However we've got the halving to look forward to next year, so we've got that going for us. However realistically speaking, nothing will happen. Maybe a small spike in the price, even if that.

[thejaytiesto]

This guy decided the wrong moment to make this thread, im sorry if you sold but the price is still going up since you posted this, we now 430, and in 2016 we will break the ATH. Weak hands beware.

[unamis76]

So solely based on capital coming in and exchange volumes you're saying 2016 won't be the most ideal year for Bitcoin? Those two things are just the tip of the iceberg... Being the halving next year a big chunk of that iceberg and miners another big chunk...

[traderbit]

It is early to judge but I think that it will be an interesting and not a boring year.
The halving period is the most interesting part of the year when we all expect an increase of bitcoin price.

[James100t]

Not really.I hope 2016 is better for me about bicoin.......

[DooMAD]

I suppose it depends on your definition of "boring".  Some people seem to be working under an assumption that the halving will automatically equate to a new ATH, which is certainly possible, but by no means guaranteed.  If the price in fiat is your only concern, then there is a chance you might end up disappointed.  But for those interested in the technology and its implications, I don't think it's possible for Bitcoin to have a boring year.  There are going to be plenty of interesting developments to come over the course of the year.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I think the OP is absolutely wrong, the halving is next summer so we're close to guaranteed to see a substantial price rise.

There will be continued mainstream adoption too.

[bering]

most people says 2016 is the best year for bitcoin and most of them also believe bitcoin price will back to $1000 in this year but i don't know this is will be come true or not because the price of bitcoin is very unpredictable although less than few days remaining we will leave 2015 but i think we will never know what happen with bitcoin and could be better or worst than currently

LOL they are brain dead morons.
I could show you all a million and 1 stupid stunts and moronic crap they have posted.
My all time favorite is they ran a story with the headline "Coin cloning is good for crypto ..the more the better" (or similar)

OpenBazaar  LOL
Yeah let's do silk road crap and think it's going to end well HAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you guys here make my eyes roll until they fucking bleed.

@OP.. i agree.
Should be another shit year with lot's of "I wuz hacked" stories.

I agree with you. Except for the halving, i expect some bigger parties to join bitcoin.
2014 was actually very boring and so was the larger part of 2015. But this price rally did  bring some new energy.

FWIW, I would guess that it will be merchant acceptance that will be the key to Bitcoin's success (BTC volume and price movement) in 2016.  If more merchants, of all kinds, but especially highly visible ones to the public, then BTC will get more notice and more widespread use.

And we can be a part of that.  By buying, spending and HODLing BTC, that keeps the Bitcoin Ecosystem more healthy and enhances prospects for further success.

More VC funding and more related technologies would also help.  But, my feeling is that more merchants accepting BTC is the key to 2016.
