I am not going to believe something as simple as this just yet because I have heard to so many times about the years 2015 and 2016 and nothing much has really happened that made them the year of the bitcoin.
I will see for my self if it is going to be the year of the bitcoin for me.
I don't understand why you are not considering 2015 a year for bitcoin. If you only observe that price during 2014m you will notice an increase in price, adoption and area of influence of bitcoin in the year 2015. And now that 2016 is about to end in another 2 months, you can clearly state that bitcoin have gain a hunge appreciation during this year. So as bitcoin supporter and enthusiast, I think it will be another year of the bitcoin this coming 2017.
