What happens if any of the major CC companies go live using the "good chain"?
What are the effects of segregated Witness for luring larger companies sitting on the fence for scalability?

I don't think segregated witness can do anything to handle the amount of transaction per second guys like VISA are used to deal with, but it's excellent news because we are on the right track and once Lightning Network launches then we are going to see some serious shit as Doc would say.

in BTC we trust

Small note from marketing agency - CoinPoint, about the prediction for 2016.
I have compared December 2014 and December 2015 in terms of interest, customers and markets:

December 2014

Negotiation with around 25 companies, most are bitcoin exchanges - for marketing services.
Active customers (More than 4 months already) - few dozens
50% USA, 30% Asia, 10% Europe, 10% ROW

December 2015

Negotiation with around 80 companies, most are bitcoin exchanges, mining operations and gambling brnds - for branding, integration and marketing .
Active customers (More than 4 months already) - bit more than 100
60% Asia, 20% USA, 20% Europe

Cant wait for 2016 now...

2016 is the 2nd bitcoin halving block
and im sure in 2016 bitcoin would be more stronger from bad news , and certainly bitcoin price would more stronger too

Yes halving would be the prime reason for 2016 will turn as the year of bitcoin. By the way the pre-halving effects already started in 2015 itself. This effects will make more easier to perform better in 2016. I'm awaiting for the halving to happen.

yeah i agree! just hoping that after the halving and the price
goes up, i hope it stays like that not dropping $300 again.
my hope in bitcoin in 2016 is very high.

Nope, i think bad news and rumor still will be one of the causes of the bitcoin price fall,
bitcoin will continue to go up and down, buy and sell, and that was in result of bad news and rumors

Your predictions are absolutely right mate, 2016 is belonging to bitcoin, we could see by these days..

Fingers crossed man. I hope it gets really high and stays at a great price for its basic. 500 or higher will be better I am sure there will be a lot bitcoin user will be pulled through trading.

I couldn't agree with you more. Most of us Bitcoin holders are waiting for its price to reach above the $1000 mark. This would probably happen in the next halving which would take place next year. 2016 will be an exciting year for BTC filled with new surprises. Cheesy

The price has a lot of bigger rises in the last months, while before it was pretty stable around $270. Now Christmas is coming so I would expect a small drop, but that does not seem to occur. Given the recent price rises, I think it's very likely we will see much higher prices next year.

The block reward halving will definitely be an interesting factor in stirring some hype/ media attention around BTC. I predict a lot more volume flowing over from FX and hopefully some more adoption from companies.

I think it will. The halving is a very big thing f.e. Then I also expect more and more companies to join the bitcoin eco system.

New services etc. etc.

Yes the halving offcourse. It's a major thing these days.

Maybe the price goes to 600 USD. But look at the current rise, it is al in speculation of the upcoming halving. I am sure of that.

The block halving is what so many people are waiting for. Expectations are very high that people have regarding the price after the block halving. I hope we don't end up being very disappointed by the price not going up as much as we have hoped.

That's correct buddy, we just do not expected too much about something happen after halving process..

If the price goes up, great for everyone as this will more than likely see a large influx of new users among making the HODL'ers happy.

However even if the price does go down around the halving this will more than likely have a huge effect on the difficulty as I don't see major mines staying open for a prolonged period on a loss therefore the halving is going to be an exciting time no matter the outcome. I look forward to it.

The bear market has lasted long enough. I predict 2016 is the year where bitcoin finally breaks through, both in price and in mainstream adoption.

The fork issue is a distraction. It won't kill bitcoin. The majority will eventually choose what fork they want to use, whether it is the original, or XT, or some third option.

I see the fork issue as silly infighting which only hurts bitcoin. I want bitcoin to succeed, that's what I care about, not what version of BTC I use. I will go with the majority, whichever fork is chosen.

Well said and fully agree!

I'll be going with majority too.
As for the price and mainstream adoption - it's hard to say but fingers crossed.

The Bitcoin block mining reward halves every 210,000 blocks, the coin reward will decrease from 25 to 12.5 coins.

this is make bitcoin "rare" for miner Roll Eyes

It's gonna be do or die after the halving. Logically, the price should go up, but if this isn't the case and it holds the miners in a negative ROI for too long, the whole ecosystem might tumble.

Let's hope that doesn't happen.

There is rather little 'logic' in bitcoin price. It is more like a correlation of crowd mentality, current news and people's paranoia. It won't be the first halving we had, and after last one price didn't go up, even a bit.
