Huh? If Bitcoin is really successful and eventually used by everyone on the planet and people use it with about constant rate, the blockchain will grow linearly. Until then bitcoin will grow presumably S-shaped which means that there will be a phase of exponential growth that we are in now. If it is crippled by people insisting on 7txn/s for "economic reasons", its transaction rate will probably peak and then decay.

It's limited so that the blockchain grows at a linear rate instead of an exponential rate.
