I would like to open discution about "news" related to Bitcoin, whose could to swing the prices Up or Down next months...
- CME Future Chicago market
- Next Hard Fork (possible until feb/18)
- New governament regulation (like Japan)
- China legalize miners
- Less then 1% of people in the world knows it... big potencial to grown up
- Fight betwen cryptocoins/miners
What more?
Well,out of the above factors which OP has mentioned above,some factors would have a positive impact on bitcoin price while others would have a negative impact.Overall if we see,bitcoin has more chances to move in bullish trend increasing its price to high peaks.In the upcoming year,we see more positive factors than negative factors.
