📈 Price volatility is an unwritten standart in crypto and TON's smooth growth comes as a surprise for the newcomers, nevertheless this is the way how the original founders saw the blockchain future.

Smooth and predictable growth allows to build long-term plans and keep fees low (which, however, can be adjusted by validator voting in case of a sharp rate hike) — this is especially important in the context of TON's desire for mass adoption and the team developing the blockchain understands this perfectly well.

Volatility and unstable rates are useful for traders, but in reality most of these trades are more like a casino game, especially when they are not backed by knowledge and strategy.

The real benefit and profitability should come from blockchain-based products, and here we come back to creating an enabling environment — it's hard to make long-term plans if the price of the underlying coin changes by thousands of percent every quarter.

The current development matches quite closely with what was described in the original documentation describing the blockchain. From coin distribution to messenger integration. Even the increased demand after the release followed by a correction was seen as a baseline scenario. You can read more about the document's contents below.💎
