Shaping up as big year

why 2017?some people tak about this year,i even seen thread that mentioning "2016 is the year of the bitcoin" its good i think,and 2016 not yet over,its too quick for make wish in 2017.
I also think its too early to call 2017 the year of the bitcoin, I honestly think the year of the bitcoin will be this year because of the halving and the growing part from users and also stores that are coming up everyday.
