Logarithmic growth can't be the long term fit. Sqrt(x) seems like it would never have the rate-of-increase-is-increasing quality, which we are currently seeing.
Isn't the sigmoid curve an exponential at the start that falls behind with growth? Nowhere is an increase in the rate of increase to be seen in a sigmoid curve. The so called "vertical" phase is exponential-turned-linear on its way to saturation, but I might be wrong.ditto +1 well put.
EDIT: So the question becomes where are we on the innovator => laggard scale? I would think still in the innovator coming up to early adopter pdq.
This is exactly the sort of conversation and counterpoints I was hoping to see. This isn't my expertise.
I think any attempt to compare Bitcoin to electricity, TV, etc must take the position that we are still very, very early in the adoption cycle.
What's interesting is the notion that there are at least two competing curves at work at once. I saw someone put an overlay of a sigmoid curve with another graph shape yesterday, but didn't see post-analysis or discussion of what that would be, or why it would be that way. Maybe I just missed it.
