I think the big year of bitcoin was when it went form a dollar to 1k usd but now it will slowly and steadily increase in real value as more and more people use it. I don't know if 2017 is going to be the year for bitcoin because it really depends on who has luck making and accumulating it I guess.
I'm fine with a slow and steady increase, as long as it is no decrease.
Every increase is better than what I get at my bank account.
Bitcoin has attained a strong place in its growth on its values and price. The fluctuation of price now is a momentery progress. Certainly the users' strength will be high. The value will be still kept on towers. The price will certainly have its night in 2017. Let's wait to cherish it.
