I've been following Bitcoin and the whole crypto-blockchain-scene closely since 2012 and I'm beginning to see overwhelming positive news over the whole spectrum. Has Bitcoin finally overcome its infancy and beginning its teenage and acceptance in the world? Will 2017 be a good year? I think it will, maybe the best so far.
I do think that this is a good year for bitcoin, since we entered 2017 the btc price increase and its a good news for users who has btc save in their wallet.

I think this year bitcoin will continue to be known to people , Crypto-related guy or not ! and also this year more and more people will adapt bitcoin as mode of payment I also think that bitcoin will reach $1500 or more meaning this year we can expect good profit in our investments ! Bitcoin has already hit the $1000 bracket I think it will be hit again and going to exceed our expectations !
no doubt for this, i think with the increasingly of the price, people will read in many newspaper in offline and i think they will interesting with crypto currency especially with bitcoin that is far beyond than gold price. the same thing is happen with altcoin and there are many altcoin that will be released in this year. if bitcoin price is increase, then altcoin will follow and make adjustment for the price and if the dev is not strong to follow bitcoin, then its no hope for altcoin to stay side by side with bitcoin.
It will be a good year, after a sensational rising over 1000$ early in January, there are a lot of speculation that bitcoin will do tremendous well this year, i can see the popularity is rising, more movie and newspaper mentioning bitcoin and we can see there are more places to used bitcoin for now, i am sure bitcoin will be getting better each year and this year will be early step of bitcoin rising

Listen. I like altcoins and I support altcoins - have a whole bunch of them. But at the end of the day Bitcoin is simplly 'the Grand Daddy of them all'. Most people are going to come back always back to Bitcoin. Yes, Bitcoin stands the risk of being outdated and outperformed (technologically) by alts, but, the beauty of it all is those alts are going to pave the way for Bitcoin when it shows how they are doing with some of the innovations and Bitcoin will adopt accordingly.
Well, at the same something important to be noted is the altcoins boom. Recently altcoins got a doubling in its price, during which lot users fall into altcoins. The major problem with altcoins is the increased volatility. On such issue we cannot make a closer prediction about its value movement. This year seems to be the year of digital currencies on the whole. If you are into bitcoin because you like it as an investment, then I think this is another good year unfolding before us. As O.P. said, we have seen so many good news come out from time to time and the world is slowly witnessing the potential of bitcoin to emerge as a legit currency. 2017 might not be the year that would really push bitcoin to stratospheric heights, but some progress and obvious improvements are always a welcome sight.Better for it to take one step backward and two steps forward.
Exactly, hence I now call it "teenager", still lots of overreacting "ups and downs" and trying to find its place. Not quite there yet but pretty damn good.
Yeah this year seems to be a great year for bitcoin as the amount of negative news of bitcoin is decreasing from what I can see. And bitcoin reached a peak in those very first days of 2017 so that's a good sign. Although there is nothing that we can predict about the future but I believe bitcoin will gain lots of success and people's trust and become an all-time-wanted currency

2017 is the year of altcoins...
bitcoin will loose it's marketshare due to lack of innovation and real world usage adoption
30mins for confirmation? come on...

Funny post, not even a single alt is doing well aside form the random pump and dump, and not a single one is used to purchase stuff like bitcoin
bitcoin is the only currency actually used for what it is, there is no innovation needed on top of what bitcoin offer already(btw anonimity is a feature not an innovation if you compare it to monero..., bitcoin is already innovative enough
Indeed, I cannot see any altcoin that will surpass Bitcoin this year 2017. Security wise, I think Bitcoin security had been tested unlike several altcoins. When it comes to marketshare and innovation plus the real world usage, I doubt Altcoin can be compared to Bitcoin when it comes to adoption and transactions.

Without the problem fixing and bitcoin will neve being better in this year, I take an example like the spam transactions were happening on yesterday. Does bitcoin still need a lot of the repair? yes, it does.
According from their current price and 2017 is the better year for bitcoin.
What problem you are talking about? Those spam transactions clogging bitcoin network? If yes than those attacks can't last for long time so that will not cause much trouble if you add few more satoshi in fees. According from their current price and 2017 is the better year for bitcoin.
Price growth is healthy this days and i think price can easily cross $2K by end of this year.

I am pretty sure that Bitcoin is gonna be widespread in the world, bitcoin is the cheapest way to transfer money in remittance service. Bitcoin is extremely awesome because blockchain technology is acknowledged by most banks and corporations. In the near future(within 5 years) bitcoinwill be accpeted by the main stream banks and companies.

i'm not following bitcoin since was born and i think bitcoin already through bad situations on 2014 when people thought the price will continue to fall but bitcoin could proof that little by little able to rise up and i think on 2017 bitcoin will much better than previous years or at least in my point of view that the price will never dropped again to $300 below
I am very afraid about that 30 min confirmation, it is that still a problem? how can be solved?
in short term it is solved as soon as the attackers stop spamming the network. if you look at this chart https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count?timespan=60days you can see what i mean. if it was genuine number of txs we would have experienced 50k+ every day not temporarily.
in long term block size must be increased and there is no escaping that.
I am starting to see less articles about Bitcoin and its "illegal use" which is nice.this means Bitcoin is going to get a little bit more popular because people are usually staying away from these kinds of things: if you saw an article about an app that is being used by terrorists, I am pretty sure you won't use it ever unless you're an extremely curious person. I hope from this year BTC will rise both in its price and popularity.

is this one of those endless threads where Bitcoin will make it? Time to open a Bitcoin is dead again thread too. Anyway Bitcoin is in the news more often know and people have it on the radar. Also the price seems to reach certain regions where it will not likely go to much down. But i too miss the progress in the technology. If we want mass adoption, then we need to be prepared. Bitcoin need to be prepared, and right know it is not. This is a danger, that could make this a story with no happy end.

Yes! it is now happening in 2017. This will be the lucky year for bitcoin. It is now becoming more popular and well-known to the world. Before there are lots of people who doesn't believe on bitcoin but now, the number who patronize it is growing rapidly!
