The bitcoin year will not be 2017, I consider this year as the year of the bitcoin due to the fact that the bitcoin has such a good future a head this year.
The halving and the growth of the bitcoin makes it for me this year.
each year that bitcoin moves forward is the year of bitcoin. this moving forward consist of multiple thins. for example one of them is the development of bitcoin that makes bitcoin better each time. the other thing is the adoption which is also one of the most important things with bitcoin, the more companies and the more people start using bitcoin the better it gets.
Yes I do believe that every year is bitcoins year because of different good news that's happening to bitcoin. I'm very hats off for the development team of bitcoin that way they introduced, market and promote it. It would very hard to worked on that by salute for them.
Look at those alt coins most of them were just dumped.
