As we enter 2017, Bitcoin begins with a fresh start making it worth nearly $1000 per coin. Users, banks, and even governments are becoming more interested into Bitcoin, and its underlying technology called the Blockchain.
Now, as we progress into making Bitcoin more scalable and efficient than ever, I would like to know what are your thoughts for the pioneer cryptocurrency in 2017?
If all goes well for Bitcoin this year, it might increase its value more than $1000, as well as become closer to being used as a mainstream currency. What do you think?

Almost everyday, my newbie-Bitcoiner elderly landlord shows me where Bitcoin is being advertised or promoted in unlikely places, such as Publisher's Weekly, and being recommended by Wall Street types and mainstream finance columnists. With our latest-thing-spreads-like-lightning digital age, i believe that we are on the threshold of a mainstream new-comer buying spree, possibly even a buying frenzy at times. I'll be surprised if the price doesn't go to $3,500 some time this year. As far as being adopted as a currency, i believe that bitcoin needs to improve its ease-of-use first. Other than Coinbase, if anyone has found a venue to buy Bitcoin easily at a fair price, then please tell me where to go.
