Coinbase said the number of users online was 8 times higher than the peak during the June/July madness. Can you imagine how many people this is? Crypto is growing exponentially in adoption and investment... We're in for a crazy in 2018 my friends!
8 times! That explains the slow websites. I couldn't get on BitcoinTicker, this forum went down several times, if you could connect at all. Now it's just a peak, but how are we going to handle the traffic when it's like that permanently?
8 times is really quite astounding but it's also worrying as you said that the exchanges can't handle it, that level of traffic will one day be the normal daily traffic and so exchanges etc will have to find a way to improve so that they can handle that level of traffic and even much higher. If they do not it will only lead to more issues and spread FUD throughout the market and put off new investors.
