This chart shows the growth of the addresses and transactions.
As we see, the growth of the addresses is quite stable,
the transaction is a bit more sluggish,
but has always remained around 30% throughout 2014.
Remember that the y-axis scale is logarithmic !
In this chart I overlay addresses and transactions with prices and some quadratic regressions
quadratic regression of 2014 has strong negative slope .... against the trend
to all other phenomena that are growing significantly
