A steady growth of, e.g. +10% a year, looks like a straight line on a log scale but hyperbolic exponential on a linear scale. If you look at a short time frame this may be barely noticeable, but if you look at decades of data (or deal with a much higher yield, as is the case with Bitcoin) the log scale will remain readable while the linear scale would just seem to curve into infinity.
FTFY
Growth that reaches a singularity at a finite point.
When talking about Bitcoin, this seems about right to me

No, but you're right though of course. Thanks for pointing it out, fixed it in my post above!
