Let's hope the miners are happy this year
Otherwise we have no hope
Otherwise we have no hope
Last year was absolutely devastating for bitcoin. Sinked from above $1200 to below $250. I won't make any prediction but I do think this is a rebound year for bitcoin as countries in Asia, ex. China are making big moves. I certainly hope it will be. 
I hope Bitcoin will be stable in 2015
2015 would a important year for Bitcoin: to live or to die.

and false too
I don't know what others think but I think bitcoin is still at the early stage and each and every year we are making progress. It's definitely not a do or die kind of thing.
Sadly I do not think 2015 will be bitcoin's 'year'. I think we'll see gains but it'll be a similar story to last year. Personally I think it'll take a 2-3 years for bitcoin to break into the mainstream but I hope it happens much sooner. I have patience, though.
Hot Sauce? What does that even mean?
it's pretty tasty actually, did you seriously never try?
i personally like hot sauces made of habaneros because i like the citrus-like flavor. But others are nice too.

It's all speculation, but I think bitcoin has a long life left yet, but it could go tits up if something far superior came along, though if that was going to happen it likely already would have. I think 2015 will be another relatively disappointing year regarding the price but it'll have a few ups and downs and a lot of merchants getting involved but this wont necessarily be reflected in its fiat value.
Bitcoin will live for few years at least as hot sauce...every year is important for BTC..as it is still pretty much in early stages..
Hot Sauce? What does that even mean?
for those in bitcoin for the fiat it'll be a great year, for those in bitcoin for initial concepts promise.....bitcoin will be dead to them.
What are the initial concept's promises?
well thats a pretty bad guess, and wrong on every point.
the idea of bitcoin was an alternative to the banks controlled fiat, to take the greedy money changes out of the equation, one of the main reasons for decentralisation, whats the point of an alternative to the greedy banks if we ourselves given the same power act the same way?
lets not even begin at the whitepapers original mircotransctions point re reason for bitcoin over the banks, something the btc powers to be flipped on ages back
We don't have the power to print as many Bitcoin as we want.
We don't have the power to reverse a transaction.
So, about what power are you talking about?
Could you please just cut this use of general terms, that means nothing and tell us, what exactly do you mean?
define what u mean by we, ie you're not part of the collective in any of my 'we' replies
your power points reply aren't even in the context of my post so i'll reply similarly;
"We don't have the power to freeze accounts."
can and has been done, one of the reason for an infamous btc fork.
"We don't have the power to print as many Bitcoin as we want."
can on several different level, and has been done for real before, again hence on of the infamous previous forks.
and currently is being done in a kind of way by various exchanges and other third parties through various financial product; you'd reply oh but thats no real bitcoins, but the products is just as real as those found in fiat (and all crypto nutjobs accuse fiat of being printed limitlessly).
"We don't have the power to reverse a transaction."
again can and has been done before ie again look at a previous infamous bitcoin fork.
However in context my whole point about being the greedy bankers is most people now in crypto are in it for the FIAT, not in it to make frictionless money, not in it to give people control over their money for better or for worse, but simply to buy a token and try and sell it to the next sucker for a higher FIAT price.
all makes the point of bitcoin redundant.
So, we should stop fixing bugs and just use the first version of Bitcoin-QT Satoshi released?
ok now ur just arguing for the sake of it.
the irony of bitcointalk is half the post are bitching about the wealthy elite while the other half is all about how to become them

I think you're correct. It's still in the first phase.

I don't think so.
People keep saying mass adoption. Do they even have an idea how far that is away from where Bitcoin is currently at?
Mass adoption (knowingly or not) is no where in sight. There is no killer app, there is no reason for the average joe to get in to Bitcoin nor care about it at this point, security is still a major issue, crytos are confusing to tech-illiterate people, vendor acceptance doesn't mean anything other than selling pressure, good news/press generally has negative effects.
As awful as it is to say, but thankfully human greed is helping to keep mining alive. Speculation buying, market manipulation and the strong taking from the weak hands actually helps keep money in Bitcoin, which we need at this point due to current inflation.
However, this unstable wild west is exactly what is needed for Bitcoin and the Blockchain to evolve and mature over time.
TL;DR
I just care about the price

Not so, at least in the way you are assuming I do. I care about the price in the sense that I hope it (regardless of much higher or much lower) has no negative impact on the adoption and growth of the technology. Crashing and Moon-ing would both cause serious issues for the coin and the chain at this time.

It is too early to tell and we are still in a bear market. RAWR

Well... the Gemini project is looming... The Winklevoss's are fixed on their ideas... New regulations may be/have already been passed to control bitcoin (which i doubt many will adhere to). It's anyone's say if you ask me. I would like to preserve my optimism.
Every year is Bitcoin year
But seriously, I don't think, 2015 will be the year we reach mass adoption. There will be growth sure, (by that I mean projects not price), but I think, we will still lack this one killer app, that everybody wants/needs. And even if we will get that, it may take some time, before people realize that.

I tend to agree with most of the people who posted here that 2015 will be a year in bitcoin. As more positive news and mass adaption is being implemented throughout the globe, there is only one way but up. We might see a glimpse of $500 too, saying it boldly yes.
I don't expect any major changes in 2015 for bitcoin. Don't think bitcoin prise will go above 500$ in 2015, but it will always be difficult to predict price
after reading your comments I also doubt the price will be stepping $500, but we do not know what will happen this year on bitcoin, hopefully only remain stable.
