This concerns me about what will happen to bitcoin price after 2016 ? Will it crash after the block halving ? Is there any upcoming incident in 2017-18 that may push the price up again ?
Here's my prediction: By summer 2016 the price of Bitcoin will be aruond $500 and from that point it will grow steadily, 20%-25% per year, so it will be around $600 in 2017, and it will be around $730 in 2018. The main reasons for the growing are that Bitcoin will be introduced (in a good way) to more people.
Pretty bold of you to think that. There are a lot of factors and it'll remain unpredictable. So to be more realistic, I suppose it'll be up this year about $500 like you've predicted but will go down to $400 again come 2017.
True that it's rather unpredictable.
Nevertheless, if you look at the charts, you see that the amount of transactions does nothing but rise, and that so does the btc price.
You can say it'll rise, or at least predict it knowing you're certainly right.
Giving a percentage though, is a bit too much. Bitcoin remains extremely shady and moves when it wants not when you expect it ^^
