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.
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.
