nah i don't agree, bitcoin adoption is much better now, there are various merchant accepting it, and big name too, are using it as a currencie( newegg, dell ecc..) many other are coming(paypal , neteller)

2013 like 2014 was just a pump and dump , now we achieved a stable price(it's low yes, but at least it's stable), which was one of the thing people asked for

LMAO.. $303- $235 in the last 4 weeks.. LMAO.. Yeah BTC is stable!

Depends on how you perceive it to be different. If you look back at past history and trying to relate it negatively, yeah you could spot some similarities but at the same time, you will also find bitcoin has since moved ahead in several areas such as having higher number of bitcoin startups, there are now more businesses accepting bitcoin, the hash rate has gone up considerable and that is a stark difference compared to where it was in 2013. So again, that falls back to you.

I think when all the speculation will end a lot of people will join the bitcoin world and the scammer, hacker will go away (this will mean that the value of bitcoin will drop). For the question about the exchanges, 2016-2017 will be the year when we will see a fully cryptocurrency (not fiat) decentralized exchange (with a new improvement).

I'm also positive the volume of money invested in bitcoin start-ups has increased considerably. There are many moves that go unseen atm. If I'd take a wild guess, next year will be one of the best years for bitcoin so far.

2013:
- Largest exchanges getting "hacked" (Mtgox)
- Largest Bitcoin mining companies scamming users (BFL)
- Online black markets scamming users, losing money, and getting shut down (Silk Road)

2015:
-The largest exchanges are still getting hacked (Bitstamp, Bter)
-Largest Bitcoin mining companies scamming users (ASICMiner)
-Online black markets scamming users, losing money, and getting shut down in the same exact fucking way (SR 2, Evolution)

Still no multi-sig in use. Still no use of decentralized platforms like Mycelium Trader and Open Transactions. Is this still 2013? We're walking into the same wall over and over and we don't know how to get past it. Are we praying for Ben Lawsky's Bitlicense (which seems to be dragging on into eternity) to come save us? Are we waiting for Satoshi to come back and say "Guys, cloud mining is bullshit. What are you doing?" I look at coinmarketcap.com and there's a blatant scam (Paycoin) in the top 10.

How do we get past the year 2013?

The base is bigger now than in 2013. Mt Gox was the be all and end all in 2013 until it started to go badly wrong, whereas when Stamp shut temporarily, there was very little disruption to the market. Unseen on this board, between 2013 and now bitcoin has been made far more Chinese, with those exchanges taking over.

Essentially main stream acceptance is the answer to your question. Like cash, bitcoin will always be used for dodgy dealings, but no one associates cash with scammers as it is ubiquitous, so those scams are a very small percentage of the total usage.

Yes! Exactly my point. I have even started a threat about things slowing down a bit in the BTC economy. Not many new things are taking place, at least not on the surface.
I really hope this Wall Street involvement is going to speed up things.
