There are four aces up Monero's sleeve. In 2016, the following four things will happen:
Ace of
♥ A major crypto-personality or celebrity will come out in support of Monero by the dawn of 2017. This will fuel speculation.
Ace of
♣ The GUI will come out, and bring with it user-friendliness we can only dream of now.
Ace of
♠ A major publication will come out with a story on Monero. Slashdot? Maybe. Economist? No, that's 2018.
Ace of
♦ The price itself will finally break the all time high of $5 on a monster run, attracting all kinds of new speculator attention.
Together these things are going to make 2016 a banner Monero year. This is your wake up call Buddy Boy. Tick-tock. Also, I'm drunk. But I can also see the future, so there's that.
Everything you wrote here is realistic and very achieveble.
People usually forget, when speaking about Monero, that it is probably 95 % held in cold storages, thus enabling extreme price movements if only relatively small amount of dollars start to chase after Moneros that has pretty scarce emission currently.
The volumes show we are able to maintain 10-100 usd Monero even with current volume. Now there is a breather and probably time to load your trucks with this gemstone of great value.
