Just some fun speculation - I'm trying to guess a Bitcoin event for every month of the year.
January - February - U.S. debt ceiling debates spark a modest rise in price. March - 2nd Q of the U.S. Fiscal Year - Overstock.com begins to accept BTC payments. April - May - Some weirdo will name his kid after Bitcoin. June - By this time Coinbase will have accepted (or announced they will accept) LTC, opening the door for other altcoins and raising awareness. July - August - September - October - November - December -
Try and fill in the blanks!
Will be updated as input comes in.

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Updated the list - feel free to fill in months that already have an event. (More than one thing can happen in the span of 4 weeks!)
It will be fun to look at this next year and see how many are accurate.

May - An all-inclusive resort in Cypress begins offering vacation packages including airfare, hotel, and all your food and drinks for a single lump sum fee payable in bitcoin.
Seriously, I think there will be a huge market for bitcoin vacations. I was talking with my Dad who just got back from a vacation and he said his bank charged him 7% to exchange his money, and then they wanted to charge another 7% to change it back! (he just kept the leftover funds for his next trip)

And hopefully the price per coin has risen so much that it only costs us .1 BTC. Cyprus here we come!

Some events happening next year:
- Wall Street is going to get involved, major pumping (and dumping) is going to happen in Q1 or Q2 of 2014 - More adoption in China, people will have found a way around the obstacles, already BTC China is accepting vouchers that people can buy elsewhere - Mining SHA256 based coins is no longer profitable for individuals starting Q2 2014, there will be a shift towards shared cloud mining operations - Mining Scrypt coins is starting to become unprofitable for individuals starting Q4 2014 - Bitcoin will be tied to other electronic currencies, such as the M-Peso - Trade volume will go up, arbitrage trading will become less profitable - Countries will make further clarifications towards crypto currencies regarding regulation and taxes - Crypto currencies become a major threat to the remittance industry - PayPal will introduce an integrated Bitcoin wallet - Bitcoin will hit the transactions per second bottleneck, will require software update - Bitcoins blockchain will require pruning to be implemented or people using remote servers. The first will require a software update - Bitcoins market cap will grow towards 50-100 Billion USD - A lot of infrastructure and products and services will be added to the bitcoin eco system, providing solutions for consumers and merchants. - Signifant adoption, tens of thousands of merchants are accepting bitcoins by the end of 2014, including several very big retailers.

50-100 Billion? Optimistic aren't we? A 5x-10x increase in one year still seems possible.

Winklevoss and other ETFs get listed. Bitcoin becomes a more mainstream investment. Retail clients allocate to bitcoin ETFs via IRA and stock exchange. Zerocoin gets released. OPEC creates basket of currencies that includes bitcoin. Someone gets sued by the IRS for tax violations relating to bitcoins.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the January 31st deadline in China for exchange withdrawals. There is a thread here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=385851.0 would be interesting to see some of your thoughts
