This assumes that the unsustained candle on 10-15-2015 was market manipulation/fomo and not part of the true growth pattern. At that time the global cap was so low that most new coins were pumped and dump. Since then, the primary focus of the DigiByte community has been steady and sustainable growth and steering as far away from pump and dump as possible. Due to this, the growth pattern appears much steeper which makes sense due to the technical superiority of DGB vs other blockchains like Bitcoin
