Thanks mate. Brilliant comments and points. Yes I think I maybe jumped the gun on a few of the predictions like the petrodollar but I think it is on the horizon.

I am hoping that BTC does get beyond the $1K barrier again because it has been so long overdue. I agree that if it breaks it, it will likely be the new floor and certainly much higher prices are possible (even if only temporarily). Long term I thing we could see 10K or more but that is still a few years away I think.

Interesting thoughts on ETC/ETH. I agree it will be very much a make or break year for both.

I like your BTC ETF prediction - that is one I have heard before and I think even if it doesn't happen in 2017 it will happen the following year. Someone will do it.

Thank your for input:)
