Stripe is an investor in Stellar. The PR certainly helped this investment. Bitcoin congestion is nearly gone, fees have dropped from around 1000 to 20 satoshi/byte now that the spammers realize that fake transaction flooding only helped to push the Lightning Network development. This is a second layer payment network which circumvents the technical consequences of a global blockchain synchronization. Initial Lightning Network tests are favorable, with transaction speed around 100 ms and fees below $0.01. The numbers of testers doubles every few days.
