Bitcoin 2016: the Year of a Different Rise

It’s been three solid years since this time, and we are still trucking on. During that time when the price was over USD $1,000 a coin, many companies like Mt. Gox were still doing business. Earlier in April the price had rallied to $266 with the small country of Cyprus in fear of bank runs and economic failure. The price then took a steady dive after the European Union swept the crisis under the rug and smashed to a floor of $50 a coin.

Since they are asking in the article "The question is if 2013 was the year of Bitcoin and 2014 was its worst year, what will we call 2016?" I think we can try to answer the question in this thread.

Well, we can witness the price rising through all 2016 and this is a gradual rising, it's nothing like when Bitcoin went from $200 to $1,300 in the matter of a month. So I'd call 2016 The Year of a consistent rising of Bitcoin.

It depends on each person. For me personally both 2013 and 2014 were fantastic years, but that's also the case with 2015 and right now 2016. I am a trader that is constantly looking for heavy volatility that I can use in my advantage. But then again, there are plenty of people that bought their coins at +$1000 levels in the hope that it would increase even further. These people have learned a very expensive lesson if they after that sold their coins in panic. If they kept holding till now, which I don't think many have done, then obviously they are somewhat gaining back trust as they come closer to the level they break-even. It must have hurt seeing the price of the coins you bought at +$1000 levels sink below $200.

Not if they kept buying as the price fell:

buy 1 bitcoin at $1000 = $1000. Cost average 1000/1 = $1000
buy 1 bitcoin at $1000 and another at $200 = $1200. Cost average 1200/2 = $600
