You are misinformed, daily transactions are near an all time high:

he may be referring to volume instead of number of transactions:

..however, he's still incorrect.

it has, in fact, about doubled in the last 60 days:

Nah. Take a look at estimated USD transaction volume., which is adjusted for change-making and other transactions that don't represent ownership transfers. Not much change since April, and way down from the China peak last December. (There's also a huge peak around the time Mt. Gox went down.)
