Yeah some nodes dropped off because they failed to update despite the latest wallet version being out for over 2 months now.
Price sure took a huge hit, after it exploded from 7 to 14 dollars. I don't know how Dash will ever recover from that 20 cent loss.
Never mind that many experts have stated that complex designs are the bane of any good cryptosystem, and inane designs built complexly are about as stupid as adding wheels on the top of a Yugo in case you flip--never mind that, but what any dasher has to be worried about is that its competitor (whether we want each other or not) is pushing its market cap higher and higher, while the price jostles upwards and CT and a enterprise level GUI and OASIS/XMR integration looks immanent --that's what you should (of) mind.
Good luck.
