Although bitcoin prices have become more stable over time, they are still volatile. They are subject to heavy speculation, flash crashes, manipulation, intense short squeezes and all sorts of irrational behavior.

And if the last two years are any indication, bitcoin is going to make big moves early in the new year. However, as also observed in the last two years, what goes on in January and February is in no way indicative of how bitcoin will end this year.

What makes predicting long-term bitcoin prices so interesting is the fact that they are so difficult to predict. You may be better off throwing darts.

Anyways, here's some food for thought for you, OP.

I don't see much happening in the early period of the year to be honest, if I have to gamble with a prediction, I would say that we are going to see an huge uptrend by the time the halving comes simply because everyone is psychologically waiting something, so something must happen (beside the actual facts being positive about Bitcoin as it gets increasingly better).

This year will be good for Bitcoin whether we talk about huge price rise or popularity.As we will going towards halving we will see the effect of it on price and can see again 1k $ by the mid of this year.

I couldn't agree more with you. Bitcoin price will be increasing until 1000$, perhaps. And then bitcoin will get it glory moments anymore.

I hope so, i hope this year is the year of bitcoin. bitcoin price gonna increase until $1.000 or even more. and i hope the price don't decrease again.

It must be year of bitcoin

Look they are raising !

All heil BTC

Yes, Bitcoin is seriously rising, but, don’t forget that bitcoin raised above $450-500 in last year 2015. The same ratio might happen in 2016 also, it will just rise to a new heights. Let us wait and watch to enjoy.

But I don’t think Bitcoin has any year, Bitcoin is just volatile, it rises and fall, so nobody is sure of that. Maybe it will rise or it may not.

We really wish that the price of bitcoins should reach to that level but its difficult to predict what future holds for us when it comes to bitcoins, but yes the year 2016 would be definitely the better year for bitcoins as compared to the past and we want that the price should be more stable.

Yeah bitcoin is gaining more and more popularity day by day and it is constantly into the news and that is the best sign for bitcoin and its users as we want that more and more people should be aware of bitcoins and should start adopting it and start using it so I think bitcoin has a great future in the year 2016.

If bitcoin achieves those magical number again some big holders will drop their coins and left,since a group is just waiting the time to get back their investment to left bitcoin,sure may be another great time to bitcoin and to get more bitcoiners,but in the end we will see a part of us leaving bitcoin ,selling all bitcoin,that would mean today 2x the investment and for some around 5x their investment soo for sure a great return that should damage bitcoin.

Two things I will be watching for:

1)  More merchants accepting BTC.  That is the key indicator (IMO) of how successful Bitcoin will become.

2)  Price...  We now have a "Starting 2016 price": $434.  So we're off to the races to see what happens...

Maybe we hit critical mass this year!

Yeah more merchants & ATM, but i expect some big companies with some BTC related service too.
The same like Gemini, but not 1 but over 10.

I think I will be paying more attention to the block size debate than anything. Sure, it would be nice for a mass adoption of merchants to start accepting Bitcoin as payment, but we can't even begin to think about that until the kinks "under the hood" have been fixed IMO. If a lot of people started using Bitcoin and began to really stress test/maxing out blocks, then I believe a lot of problems will be imminent... We'll see though, it's going to be exciting regardless due to halving speculations.

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.
more people use and knows about bitcoin,more startup built,more ATM come,more corporation accept bitcoin,wallstreet consider about blockchain,and bitcoin halving. yes this year will be the year of bitcoin.

These all are on the way at the moment it is growing more strongly with real adoption and you will see marketing giant will start accepting soon into this year and after block halving price will increase dramatically to its highest price ever than before.

Extra ATM, extra shops physical + online well there is so many things that can happen and in my belief will happen,
Which will make bitcoin the coin of 2016.
All we have to see is the expansion of Bitcoin into more locations, and for there to be better publicity overall for Bitcoin. If we can also see Bitcoin continue to elevate in price, it will cause more people to join the Bitcoin economy, which will inevitably lead to more retailers accepting Bitcoin, and so on.

As most of the community members in this thread I also believe we will have a good year pricewise and in terms of network progress and development.
Sure there will be also some downs as well.But all in all I think the positive things will overweigh.

We going back to 500 which is a superb way to start the year, people said we would be under 400 again by January 1 (by people I mean the fudster that are always lurking this forum).

They are trolls. They just hope the price to come down so they can buy themself a few coins before the real pump shows up. It's another wrong prediction from them, how sad. Cheesy
