[1] [2] I think the same with 2017, bitcoin will prevail. The thing is with the help of the online advertisements of bitcoin, especially in social media, it has become more and more popular. Thus, making people invest on it more and convince more people to invest on it or get involve in any bitcoin related activities. This is why it will be the same.
