Its like 2014 all over again.
Worst year for bitcoin?
Hopefully not, but it definitely wasn't the worst year for Bitcoin at all.
2015 was the worst year for Bitcoin overall, with a low value, minimal community engagement and mostly stagnation within the growth and development of the technology that lead to zero progress being made. This year wouldn't be able to be the worst year for Bitcoin, assuming it only went as low as $250 again this year, because we made progress and got the community engaged with a lot of stuff happening over the past 5 and 1/2 months.
I beg to differ. 2014 was the only calendar year in which Bitcoin's price actually fell. In 2015 it rose by over $100.
2015 was an excellent year for Bitcoin, an almost yearlong buying opportunity which allowed everybody to stock up on cheap coins.
For those latecomers who bought at 4-digit prices, it was an opportunity to dollar-cost-average the price of their coins down. For those of us who lost coins at Mt. Gox, it was a chance to replace them at a reasonable cost.
In the world of Bitcoin, 2015 rocked.
