Sadly I think op will be right. Can't see much exciting happening in 2016 but I'm all about long term gain and looking at the price in about 2-3-5 years time. Bitcoin isn't going to go mainstream overnight but the potential is still there but it'll take time.
Give the 2016 a chance. 2016 is still not even three weeks old, so I believe it is too early for such calls. With halving in less than six months a lot things may happen (or not) that will completely change our perception of this year in context of Bitcoin.
