I have been quite happy with Bitcoin this year. It was very stable most of the year, and I am pretty sure we will end the year close to 400$. Slow and steady wins the race!

Those are my exact thoughts on bitcoins this year.

You never know what can happen, it's really unpredictable but we all have our speculations about bitcoin.

Bitcoin did great in 2015, and will perform even better in 2016! 2016 will be a more than interesting year as the block halving is drawing a lot attention from normal interested people and professional traders. Don't know why you even dare to mention the word fail in your title.

If bitcoin have failed this year that I just stop buying them or having them.
But I just always believe that bitcoin will just grow. MAybe the price now is not that awesome than in 2013, but is still good.

OP should elaborate more why he means that Bitcoin fail.
I personaly think it did not fail. Price was steady and even increased.
The number of opportunities where Bitcoin can be used for buying is increasing too.

Bitcoin went from 200ish to 370 (now) how do you call this failing?

In fact it's almost doubled and the value seems to be stable for at least 330 dollar

Of course it didn't fail! What kind of fail? We eventually managed to recover the price on a higher level. Look at pereira's infographic: that is an interesting one. The Bitcoin Ecosystem is too young still. I could agree on the fact that there's too much discussion on people than on development and this slows down development time but other than that I see NO FAIL.

It failed because we're wasting too much time campaigning against each other when we should be campaigning for Bitcoin.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You say we're campaigning against each other, do you mean with various signature campaigns competing for space, or was it that we are simply working against each other?

I agree that we are wasting too much time with other endeavors instead of spreading interest in Bitcoin, but I can't figure out how we could work as a group to campaign in favor of Bitcoin.

he is talking about the whole bipxx drama, we are creating holes in the comunity, with the consensus thing, and delaying maybe the adoption of bitcoin

surely it's not helping bitcoin in anyway, to have a debate about a thing that in the future will be certainly mandatory(block limit increased)

If look the price in 2014 and 2013, Yeah bitcoin fail in 2015 at the price, but in other sectors like users or anything it increased. Cheesy

And in 2016 I think bitcoin price will be high again like in 2013 or 2014 and more people use bitcoin. Cheesy

Even I am expecting value to go high dude. Now its showing little booming in when compare to last week and this week. This should take effect consistently at least. then We can promising rate increment in 2016. Lets hope for the good dude.

I think bitcoin didn't as it was expected to. What do you think about bitcoin in 2016?

as the title says bitcoin fail?
i dont think so that it really failed.
in fact, more people now adapted or accepted using it than before.
and it even goes up until 478 dollars.
for 2016 i think the price will be higher and more and more people will use it.

maybe to 500$ where another touch down just for testing the marc. Back in the time there was an amount of over 1000$ and i think that can come some Time again!.
Anyways its very interesting where this everything goes! I think the BTC will be definetly higher at the end of the year Wink

Well I think that it has done what is has expected to do. What do you think Bitcoin hasn't achieved yet?

Adoption.

Everything is a ponzi scheme by your definition since everything starts with early adopters taking more advantage than the rest, and all things come to an end. This is why it's absurd to call Bitcoin a ponzi scheme.
By the strict definition, it is not, this has been debated before.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u4F8cpzqao

grab a brain..

i repeated what the WASHINGTON POST said on page 1.. search result no. 1 on Google.

so........

according to the Washinton Post everything is a Ponzi scheme.

oh and i guess that goes for everyone on earth too..
because i heard that before i turned on my first miner years ago.
and since, i have heard it from all corners of the globe everywhere.
don't believe me ?
Get off your ass and go check..

Want me to collect up 101 links to other people saying it ?
And i guess all of those 101 people "call everything a ponzi" too right ?

..utterly clueless beyond comprehension boys.
Drunk and high off of the temptation of greed.
Blind to the ice cold reality of how things actually are.
Desperate clinging to any false hope you can hold onto.

I alluded to a point that went over your heads like a roaring jump jet scraping your heads..
this forum is full of 90% delusional people who live in a bubble circle jerking each other with cheer-leading.
While the whole entire rest of he world carries on..

reality check the world thinks Bitcoin "was a thing" ..long ago !

You see the dumb part is i actually waste my time knowing full well what the response will be here.

If you can't accept what i just said as reality.. i can assure you it will not change and get better.

Did it really I am new to Bitcoin, but I haven't seen that bitcoin have failed bad. Maybe I am a newbie who still don't understand about bitcoin.
For me the price now is kinda good if you ask me, but yeah who is to blame I am just newbie.
With this price that is $350,- than is for me kinda expensive to buy. So I will just do some Satoshi and make this account a Member and have a Signature Campaign.
If there is other methods to earn more can you pls tell me? Thank Grin

There is constant improvements being made in all fronts. If the price doesn't follow is because people is slow in nature, most people don't get it yet, this should make you happy because you are here already and you can be buying it really cheap before it explodes in price.
While people talk about price, this is happening:

So do your research before saying "it failed" because that's nonsense. Come back in 2 years and look at the price and we'll see.

Move On !!!!!!

The prices have fallen, Bitcoin didn't fail at all, it actually made enormous progress in all domains!

Price has fallen because the previous high of $1,100 was just too high and unsustainable! Bitcoin was in a bubble and that bubble has burst and deflated!

Bitcoin will go through few more of these bubbles in the near future until it doesn't grow enough and adoption doesn't happen!
