You know I'm glad that you brought this topic to the Forefront. I will admit I've been worried as well as some people I know and friends of mine. About the Bitcoin declining price,I was under the impression that there were some areas in Asia that may have had somewhat influence on the decline and price. And another thing that I would have to say has to do with people losing confidence in it is its low transaction time and ridiculous fees, (especially on sites like coinbase Etc),I'm hoping it can shoot back up to his previous highs love your major Improvement but I'm sure we can all get behind and all hope for.
I definitely second everything you're saying for the most part and still have a little Hope and Faith that hopefully things will turn around. and I definitely think this new LightningNetwork system will have a huge impact in the cryptocurrency space and hopefully bring back some positive reviews and feedback for the number one crypto-currency!
