I disagree. I think we're going to stay around the 200-270 range until the end of the year. Maybe longer. There's so much in the works right now to help support the economy. It's going to be interesting seeing how things pan out in 2016+
The last quarter of last year "they" said that with all the VC investment in the btc infrastructure that 2015 was going to be the year of btc.
The main issue now is that with the current infrastructure, people with "BIG" money can't get coins easily. This is what BIT or COIN are here to overcome. It's not that hard to understand why we're keeping going down when there is a great difficulty to buy coins "NOW" whenever this "NOW" is.
Plus, one thing that I agree with JorgeStolfi (despite our disagreements) is that we need the exchange infrastructure to be more "transparent"; ie: I'd trust fully an exchange that posts every buy & sell transaction to the ledger, since it's happening anyway *is it?*...
We've got a long way ahead us my friends.
