What were the major changes to Bitcoin in 2017?

Hey guys, I was away from crypto-related stuff this year but heard recently how China was affecting BTC market. Could you guys give a gist of all that has happened during the last 7 months? Is it the right time to buy Bitcoin?

people saying "China is affecting market" is not a new thing. they have been saying it ever since 2013 and maybe even before.

- the new things are the activation of Segregated Witness and the end of the 3 year old scaling debate.
- the new forking method that is becoming common these days with BCH, BTG and possibly more in the future.
- Japan adopting bitcoin and calling it a "legal way of payment"
- a couple of countries removing taxes on bitcoin payments
- and obviously price reaching unbelievable ATH

I would like to know about your idea and the thinking related to it, I have seen a lot of the changes because the value and the price of the bitcoin is now very high and the people are investing now more than before. In the past the bitcoin currency was not very common but now it is very famous and a lot of people are investing in it and the best thing is the highly increased price.

Yeah, before Bitcoin Gold there was this Bitcoin Cash that's being created within this year. So, i guess this is the major changes of Bitcoin in 2017 with the price that is rapidly increasing within just a few months. This is so surprising that in just a short amount of time Bitcoin community did change something almost everyday. It's just like they were born to be here, to create something that is not meant to be created. Since it will just going to dump without a proper support but they still continue to use this exploit, yet the moderators are always up-to-date to give them a warning shot before they will do another stupid ideas.
