every year is a year of bitcoin as long bitcoin do exist and still alive
agree. perhaps OP means by "year of bitcoin" is kind of year where bitcoin has high price, I don't know exactly, but this year halving will face us, so it is possible if this year is "year of bitcoin" either because the price may pump. besides, the price is increasing slowly.
That's true because base on what I am seeing now, the trend is always going up, bitcoins price getting more crazy and I don't think its gonna go back low again, if this will continue, we can expect on year 2017 the price will be $1,000.
But the fact is that this will not continue. And no, I'm not a shill. I just think it's kind of nearly improbable that the value will go rise at $1000 by early 2017. At most would probably be $800.
