What well known companies are planning on accepting them? I think it'll only take one big company to start using them and the value will skyrocket again.
Just keep browsing the press section, theres at least 1 biggish outfit announced per week that accepts them...
Keep in mind, some arent in the states..
Also, the numbers of places on coinmap.org grows , almost at 2000 worldwide, granted these arent big companies ... but still, it shows adoption =)
Depends what you define as biggish. I wouldn’t say many big companies are dealing with it at the moment, but 2014 is going to be an exciting year for sure. I think it'll slowly gain traction and once bigger businesses start dealing with it it'll have a knock-on-effect, but these market crashes aren't good for mainstream adoption.
but it has to be this way if you understand how markets work.
you wouldn't want it to go up in straight line otherwise everyone would climb on board and it'd be a no brainer. the only place you see this type of action is in the stock market which is being manipulated up by inflation which ends up debasing the currency. so while you win on one hand you lose on another. Bitcoin is not like that.
Bitcoin started at 0 and if it's destined to go to $100,000 a coin according to the binary viewpoint, it has to shrug off as many ppl on the way up by zigzagging like hell to shake off the weak hands. only a few of us will be able to stomach the volatility on the way up. only a few can win.
