For you it might be 40% but there are a lot people that managed to more than double their money within a year due to the peak that we have experienced back in June of this year. This year has been fantastic for those that managed to make a good profit. Perhaps that when SW gets activated, and more clear information about the roll out of LN, that the price will take another jump in 2017. Patience is what we need.
Nothing comes easily in Bitcoin. But for me it definitely was a fantastic year, so yes, in that aspect it was indeed my "The Year Of Bitcoin".
Its still quite a good year to bitcoin because this year has the even of halving which the price of bitcoin somewhat increase from $400+ mark to $600 which is good to see on this year so we could somehow assume that 2017 would be also a good year but still it wont guarantee us because we dont know the future.
