LOL at people saying 2014 is "the year of bitcoin" just lol.... please get the fuck out 2014 is a shit year for bitcoin aka price MATTERS. Bitcoin can't reach its potential until it's over $2-3K/btc
2014 is the year of bitcoin, but not in the way you think it is.
Look at all the new merchants accepting bitcoin.
Dell, Expedia, Newegg, Dish, Paypal, etc.
Just wait a little bit for the commons to realize the impact of this, and you'll see that the price will follow eventually.
Yes, the price will most likely skyrocket in 2015 rather than 2014, but the reasons for the increase have their foundation in the events that happen now.
You see, events and price do not influence each other in real-time. There's a massive delay between them.
