Falling 2017 doesn't have any special events similar to the halving that took place this year. Possibly the regular as well gradual price move helps 2017 to be one among the best year of bitcoin.
i think 2017 is much better than 2016 why because i read some article that in 2017 bitcoin will be increase the price up to 2000 dollars it because of the launching of website or a new coin where it can help bitcoin to grow i don't know where did i read this article but i am going to find it to share with you guys , and hopefuly that in 2017 some stores are going to accept bitcoin as a payment so that we can shop easily and less hassle
