Regarding Bitcoin’s Lightning network, Taylor did not see any signs of significant growth, while unique channels have seen a decrease of double digits over the last two quarters, indicating a downtrend. Nevertheless, Taylor shared that he remains confident in Dash’s strong fundamentals, which will be a key factor to increase the general adoption worldwide and explained that price does not always reflect the true hard work of the dedicated team of Dash.
