I think this year 2016 will also be remembered as a bad year for bitcoin due to recent bitfinex hack. In which 1,00,000+ bitcoin were stolen which is comparatively big and due to which market get dumped so hard.
I Think this year will not be remembered as a bad year for bitcoin, but this year will be remembered as a lucky year for bitcoin, as the price of bitcoin already doubled up in this year and even after two hacks 1,00,000+ Bitcoin hack it remained much stronger and people are still with it and are putting their money and are starting their businesses with it without any fear.
