These show "amount of paid currency", which has some increase in the very short timeframe you are showing (and certainly coincides with adoption of lightning). Look instead at the total and unique visitors for the past year:

I don't mean to interrupt but while this graph looks flattish, it's showing an increase from 33k/month to 52k/month over 11 months.
It's not as good as we'd like obvi, and even I might refer to it as stagnant when I'm being self-deprecating, but it's 58% growth in visits in 11 months.
