August, 13, 2017 - 330 000 transactions
August, 13, 2018 - 690 000 transactions
that's all
This means nothing. I can just go spawn tons of addresses and it will add to the count. Meaningless statistic.
Sort of like the transactions. There's literally tons of ICOs now. A transaction doesn't mean that it's being used in the way it was meant to (speculation) rather than actual use as either a currency or a supporting platform for a dapp.
Go look up users of dapps. That's what matters. And it's literally painful to look at. OMG has like 32 active users half of which are probably fucking devs.
I'm not saying the crypto revolution failed. But it looks like it was totally a bubble.
