Great list of predictions - I especially hope you are right about the future BTC price  Grin

The only one I disagree with is the alt coin prediction.

If anything, there will be more successful alt coins by the end of this year than in any previous years.

It's a diverse ecosystem and people have been saying alt coins would be dead for a very long time and now look, we have many very successful alts such as PPC, LTC and DVC.

BTW, is it planned for introduce a smaller change of BTC? I'm fed up with calculating always small fractions. It would be better to introduce bitcoin cents, as a 1BTC = 1000 bitcoin cents, or even more.

Set you client to show you mBTC instead of BTC. Almost every client supports this.

I hope that the price will remain around 1000$ till end of this year, but the 4000-5000$ / btc is a dream IMHO.

BTW, is it planned for introduce a smaller change of BTC? I'm fed up with calculating always small fractions. It would be better to introduce bitcoin cents, as a 1BTC = 1000 bitcoin cents, or even more.

Regards

That's happening already with mBTC, uBTC, and satochi. Which are respectively 0.001BTC, 0.000001BTC, and 0.00000001BTC.

A $4000-$5000 BTC in 2014?  I don't think so IMO.
I expect that in 3-5 years.
I think (and hope) there will be steady avg 5% growth per month for BTC.

The most exciting prospect for me in 2014 will be WDC (WorldCoin).

What for wie need a worldcoin Ehen THW excellent earthcoin alreafy exists :p

I'm just hoping for some more stability in value. It's great making a few $'s here and then just playing the up's and down's but it would be better to be more stable, especially LTC.

I'm curious how much longer the alt coin clones will continue. Isn't it kind of obvious that those are doomed to fail? I know as long as money can be made from it, people will try to get a piece of the pie. But for all the people that profit from it, there are also people who lose money. BTW, I'm not talking about the alt coins that are offering other functionality or work differently, I'm talking about clones here. IMO they're just a wasted of time.

They'll keep going as long as people keep mining them. The keep coming out because there’s a bit of money to be made by pumping and dumping them.

1: Chickenfeed, bet we did that in 2013 easily.
2: Of course not, if mining is dead, bitcoin is dead. The question is, will the little guy face a huge barrier to entry.
3: Define survive... I think we'll still have a lively altcoin ecosystem.. some may die.
4: Bitcoin community is solving problems 24/7 so where's the prediction???
5: All it will take is one country to open it's doors to bitcoin definitively and it will gain a huge amount of business, Switzerland is looking favorite right now.
6: Ditto, Indias current stance will leave it eating somewhere else's dust.
7: It already is, where's the prediction???
8: Meaning the "killer app"? Or just idiotproof wallets? Hopefully progress in both.
9: Yes I think that may be a "trading range" for a good portion of the year, may spike higher of course.
10: It'll be a really dull year in the real world if he has no competition.

3. There will be less than 5 alt-coins (out of the 50+ in existence) that will survive 2014

10. Last but not the least – Satoshi nakamoto will be Time’s Person of the Year 2014.

Bitcoin 2014 - Top 10 Predictions

50 alt coins in existence? There's at least double that already and numerous ones coming out almost daily. http://www.wheretomine.com/

And I think Satoshi has a good chance of winning this year.

yeah, looks like that guy was off on the cryptocurrencies out there at the moment, but does seem reasonable to see them all die off

He probably just had a quick look at cryptomarketcap.com and assumed that must've been them all.

While the price has proven to be extremely volatile in the past, the adoption of mass services (Zynga, Overstock etc), will stabilize it in the long run.  It's only January 13th right now, and as I watch CNBC almost daily, the media coverage seems to be increasing at a very fast rate.  I think that since there are many ways to easily explain how Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general work, people who can barely operate a computer on their own are going to start getting involved in it.  That might be a negative though to a lot of people, as many don't realize the actual point of why many people use cryptos, and then the price might inflate merely off of speculation, which would obviously be horrible for the entire market.  We wouldn't want to see a bubble in this, I really want it to succeed.  But hopefully that won't happen, and the price will steadily continue to rise!  Feeling optimistic overall.

9. The price of Bitcoin is likely to range between $4000-5000 by the end of 2014

I'm with the positive majority on this one:

BTC will have a crazy ride this year, but will be up for the year.

I am also very excited for WDC this year. Will be the first alt-coin out to implement an US based USD-WDC exchange. Very exciting!
