Hashrate, though, is often seen as the better market number to watch in order to truly evaluate Bitcoin adoption, and recent hashrate statistics indicate that adoption continues to grow.
lol. you are wrong on both parts
hashrate has never been an indication of adoption. of course since it is rising after the price rises you can use it for that matter but it wouldn't make any sense.
secondly hashrate has not have any growth for the past 3 months at least. it has been stable just as price is staying in a fixed range.
