GoWest: 10 Most Anticipated Bitcoin Projects
A list compiled by GoWest (@GoWestBTC) identifies 10 projects he is excited to see more of next year. The items listed are:
- 10) BitSynCom and the MeshNet
- 9) The Bitcoin Bond
- 8) Bitcoin Browser Extensions
- 7) Bitcoin Options and Futures Trading on the Major Exchanges
- 6) ICBIT Stock Exchange
- 5) Electrum Overlay Network
- 4) Bitcoin Client Upgrades
- 3) New Bitcoin Transaction Types
- 2) Open-Transactions (OT)
- 1) Max Keiser and the LoveBitcoins.org Campaign
Other projects might rank into this list however, as GoWest concedes, many Bitcoin projects are treated as “closely-guarded secrets”. Bitcoin may, for instance, become a killer app just weeks after some game or other use is introduced, but we won’t know which project has that potential until it already out and catching on. There certainly are a lot of very talented people giving Bitcoin the level of attention that would indicate we’ve only seen a tiny bit of its potential.

The Bitcoin Trader - Bitcoin's Liquidity: A Third Look
GoWest of The Bitcoin Trader (@GoWestBTC) looks at how much sway $50K USD has when buying or selling bitcoins today versus previous points in time. Excerpts:
“The market is looking considerably more stable. Today, a $50,000 purchase would only move the price from $5.11 to $5.16, a 1% increase.”
“The Bitcoin market has clearly matured significantly, making it increasingly stable and usable as a currency; something many merchants have been waiting for before deciding to accept Bitcoin.” -
GoWest - Bitcoin in 2012: By the Numbers
GoWest (@GoWestBTC), blogging on TheBitcoinTrader.com, shows some metrics describing where Bitcoin shined in 2012. Excerpts:
“The current market cap is actually at a peak for 2012, exceeding the spike in August. This can be attributed to the fact that tens of thousands of Bitcoins have been introduced into the economy since August.”

“These have shown steady growth over the past year: The number of items listed at Bitmit (an auction site that operates in Bitcoin), the number of users at Ogrr (an MMORPG marketplace), and the number of views of the ‘What is Bitcoin’ YouTube video.”

“Bitcoin’s top poker site, SealswithClubs, is gaining new users on a daily basis, with attendance at the tables on the rise.”
