It will be same as the year before and the year after, some predict increase in bitcoin value, some say decrease, even some people will say it will be dead, new start ups in bitcoin, some hacks and losses, some scams, etc....
but i was never able to see what will be position of bitcoins before it actually happened, because the population using bitcoin is not low as last year or the before and no centralized organization or group to dictate the terms of bitcoin, so prediction doesn't work the exact way some one predicts
I think we will know after this ends year, but what I know is we have a good year this year so I just hope 2017 is a better year than 2016, if we cannot achieve the $1,000 this year maybe in can happen on the year 2017, how would you like that?
For sure I will sell some of my bitcoins to enjoy my profit if that happens.
If the SegWit comes out by the end of the year, it is quite possible that the bitcoin price will be more than $1000.
