Hi @thecryptoeagle, thanks for updating everyone with this news. I work full time in the industry, and I know that it has been a rough start for cryptos in 2018, with a few good patches in between.
I think that regardless of the rough start, there is positive news coming for the market in 2018. It should be really interesting to see how the lightning network improves the network as a whole once it is out of testing phase.
I'm currently reading up on a technology that may solve every single scaling issue that blockchain has.. I'll be posting about it in a week or two so keep an eye out if you're interested in scalability!
