The old year ends. In the new year everything can be done better. At least theoretically ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) What are your good intentions regarding Bitcoin in 2017?

heres some idea's what people can do this year 1) hardware wallets need a revamp. they need to function without needing to download browser add-ons or connecting to websites or things like electrum. EG have software self contained EG a fitbit/smartwatch with NFC to make payment just by swiping a retailers touchpad (and yes its possible, just not done yet) 2) nodes and wallets need more diversity. so far knots, blockchain.info, bitcoinj, greenaddress, core are all under the same 'ownership' 3) PEOPLE need to realise bitcoin is code. it has no voice to promote itself and no arms and legs to defend itself, PEOPLE need to get involved instead of sitting on their hands waiting for bitcoin to do something. EG if you want retailers in your area to accept bitcoin. go speak to them yourself EG if you want to make bitcoin more popular. learn about bitcoin then set up some meetups/conferences 4) bitcoin jobs. look for a product/service you think will be useful to sell. then look for suppliers/employee's/dropshippers and then start selling them for bitcoin. 5) exchanges should start requesting a public key and use the bitID concept for logins instead of passwords, and also use the public key to form multisigs to hold funds, instead of giving customers easy to fake mysql balances. thus mitigating hacker/insider embezzling risks

What are your good intentions regarding Bitcoin in 2017?
I will try to use hardware wallet to store bitcoin rather than trusting web wallets which i am currently using, i will try not to store much bitcoin in any of the trading platform and also i will try not to gamble much in next year.

My intention is to continue to build my blog about bitcoin and make it a nice place to find information for the bitcoin community. I want to continue on expanding my knowledge on the area that involves the cryptocurrency world and the blockchain (I know is only a layer in the bitcoin ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ). Furthermore, I plan to buy a Trezor as soon I will reach 300CDN in bitcoin value.

My intention is to try to send requests to new ecommerce websites to recommend them to use bitcoin payments in my country as there are many Indians who are aware of this currency as it has already come in papers and news channels. If one accepts this currency, others also would be tempted to use it.

More on Bitcoin awareness starting on the local community and hopefully word of mouth to reach more people, Most people mentality everything that involves money on the internet is a scam. changing the perception about bitcoins will be a good start.

best advice. start small. dont hire big spaces out like a open space building for a year. start small like do a local meetup at a easy to find cafe /bar that is common place and doesnt require deposits or reservations.. like a small random one off social event. just to gauge/see how demand/popularity then if lots are turning up and while talking you see there is demand for a regular large location to be needed then do it. some people start at a bar where say 10 people turn up. then those people go and find a few others and the following week you book a night at a bar with a stage/(karaoke/mic night) area that can cope with 100, and you make it into a mini conference with speakers talking on stage. then you expand from there if you already know of 100+ people locally that will want to turn up then skip the meetup and instead book a night at a place that has a stage and enough standing seating area, and then charge a small entrance fee to cover your costs for the night. try not to get greedy with the entrance fee, unless it starts becoming a big event with lots of guest speakers and things happening

At least theoretically ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) What are your good intentions regarding Bitcoin in 2017? Well, i would say: 1. More adoption, growing in steady rate or explode 2. More infrastructure developed, startups, bitcoin websites and services 3. More technical advances like in 2016 in bitcoin technical side. Thats it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) that would be great 2017 year.

If personal issues is counted than my good intention for my Bitcoin is to hold it and later on convert it to Fiat when Bitcoin's price is up. Bitcoin earning is now part of my life as it really help me have an extra boost in my financial situation. It really helped me have savings without even bothering my real money. Later on the money will be use in Investing in the stock market. I am still young and I am hoping that my money will be big later on.

For bitcoin in 2017 I wish more adoption, more promotion in media, more quality infrastructure and more equality with fiat money, less connections to illegal stuff. Personaly I wish I would collect as much bitcoin as I can and that the price will continue to rise

My prediction and wish for 2017 year is: The price of Bitcoin will rise exponentially following the increasing number of investments in it. Many new crypto currencies will appear with the hope to repeat the success of bitcoin. And many new places as shops and other firms will start to accept bitcoin.

My main intention for 2017 will be to gradually buy more BTC on a rough dollar-cost-averaging basis. If BTC price continues to go up sharply, I will likely spend some BTC on gold. But, I jumped the gun on that (bought gold when BTC was ~$500), so I will take my time on spending anymore BTC for gold.

I really like some of franky1's list, especially making hardware wallets better.

yes that is a good idea, i also have the same intention, i myself want to hold my bitcoin even in 2017 and try to buy more and more, because i am hopeful that even in 2017 the price of bitcoin will go to some more high price.

I want to get my first whole bitcoin and I will be really happy. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I hope other clever people come up with faster and easier ways to create transactions for bitcoin though.
