Eventually "this year will be the year" will be right.. someday at least..
Seriously though, why assume that BTC has to see 1000% growth "suddenly" again? It already has a healthy, upward trend. Besides, all altcoins that eventually gain recognition see that same exponential growth at first. I think a stable rise and sustainability is the way to go.
Yes I do believe it that way too as the day goes by bitcoin is becoming stronger and that is making it's way to the top.
And the alt coins are also benefiting with it and this is going to be stable if a lot of stores are going to adopt and accept bitcoins in the future.
I hope this is going to start next year.
