I would say all of the growth are equally essential depending on the timing. While a slow growth could be the most preferred, it does not make it the most palatable for example in this era of slow growth and backtracking being witnessed in the past couple of week, a surge in price won't do any bad rather it will reinvigorate the dying interest that people have in crypto market at this time in which if build upon, could thereafter be a slow and gradual growth.
Lol, I dont think people knows what they want. When there is a fast growth a lot of people complain and say thats bad and you see them start calling it a bubble and saying it needs a correction. When there is a slow growth you will still see them complain and say the market is very slow and you see a lot of people starts quitting. Quite funny.
