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.
yes of course this year is very, very good for bitcoin for many reason, first is because of bitcoins price, it's 600$ and still will rise soon because of halving so it is good for bitcoin
and higher price means higher popularity, so more people will be interested in bitcoins and more stores will accept bitcoins so we will be one step closer to bitcoin goals to spread all over world
