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.
True, but even the price is dumped and lowered the bitcoins price because of bitfinex hacked coins but as we can see it still manages to increase its price gradually. We really do expect some up's and downs of the price and its normal because of some circumtances but still the uptrend is still there, we must all be patient.
Very observant! Im glad people like you exist and it is just proof that people can see the trends. I too notice that while the hacks may make bitcoin seem less reliable, it is actually still slowly gaining value. Thats because people like us know these security issues will be fixed and bitcoin will continue to gain momentum.
