ATH this year was already reached. So i agree, will happen in middle of 2015.
Yes but I'd like the 3400 EUR to be maintained for a while
it will probably not take long now.
search interest in bitcoin is rising, large newspapers (the guardian, for example) mention bitcoin (about the paypal thing, so finally positive media about bitcoin)
the number of transactions per block is nearing all time highs, and so is the number of bitcoin addresses used per day
the trend is reversing, and i am pretty sure the next peak will come this year
