Well that is really applicable to be for every year that it is going to be a good year or best year for bitcoin but as the long run of bitcoin we can say that every year is really a great year for bitcoin just like this year.
I'm pretty sure that 2017 is going to be a more productive year rather than this year and more stores and big companies are going to adopt the use of bitcoin but I hope my prediction is going to happen.
every year i hear people saying next year is going to be more productive and better year. and although it usually is since we are moving forwards but we have to think about today and try hard to make this year better first by using bitcoin more as a currency rather than just dumping it when the price goes up.
I agree with you that we have to think for present or today instead of thinking for future, We have to work hard to achieve goals today but the thing is we all see that this year is not so good for bitcoin as compared to previous years so people are thinking and hoping that the coming year will be good because bitcoin will capacity or ability to achieve higher amount even after the decline. So Hope for the best and yeah next year will be great for bitcoin and also for their users.
