Simple answer: NO, or not yet
The year 2015 has been very rough for bitcoins. From a price of $314 per coin on New Years Day it slumped 43 per cent to a low of $177.
Mt. Gox, the world's largest bitcoin exchange, suddenly announced that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bitcoins were stolen last month. This isn't the only one. But I believe in the future bitcoin and other cryptocurrency will still have a prominence and potential to "rebound" back into the economy.

Really? Gox? Last month? That was like a year and a half ago, not last month, can't keep blaming stuff on Gox forever. Unfortunately, Mt. Gox was not the only scam... from my experience, the overwhelming majority of bitcoin-related businesses are scams, frauds, failures, etc. And, given that this is unlikely to change, it will continue to be a major problem with the bitcoin economy.
