Single upticks mean almost nothing. Next month or two will likely drop again a bit. Things generally regress to the mean. Even their chart shows that. Every major up or down tick quickly move back towards the mean. So the mean is the only bit worth getting excited about and that is showing good steady growth.

The trend reminds me of the adoption of electric cars. Things started out very slowly, but once the adoption takes hold it grows quickly.

That is the same curve for almost everything that becomes mainstream. The only real difference is the length of time t takes. But everything starts out small, stays that way for a while, then some critical mass hits and it explodes. For a project to become mainstream it is really all about overcoming "the chasm" of early adopters where most projects die or get stuck in for a long time.
