I'm just trying to gauge people's confidence level after the SHIT year we have had in 2014 (lol at 2014 = "the year of bitcoin")... a lot of people have lost confidence, and I would even say that the general reputation of bitcoin is still negative thanks to Mt Gox.
2014 definitely *is* the year of bitcoin. Much more positive developments have already happened in this year than in all the previous years combined! And getting rid of MtGox was one of the positive things that happened.
As for the price, which is depressed now, yeah right, 2014 is not (yet) the year of a huge bitcoin rally, so what? Still is an awesome year with three more months to go.
