OP had luck that the bitfinex catastrophe happened. Without stupid ass bitfinex we would be higher if not at least stable at around 650 dollars. Sometimes the FUDsters get it right due simple bad luck, don't believe otherwise.
Bitfinex was a ticking time bomb, something big was bound to happen eventually. Now that it's done, let's just be glad it happened sooner rather than later on.
Well, to be fair, by that logic every single exchange is a ticking time bomb. There wasn't really anything special about Bitfinex from what I was able to tell from the sidelines, and it kind of got hacked/was embezzled from out of the blue.
While it is better that it happened now and not later, it's still a shame it happened. It might keep the value of Bitcoin down a bit due to a lack of investor confidence, but chances are the market will forget about it fairly soon.
