Visible Trends Linear vs Log Scale

Given the exponential increases in bitcoin’s price over a ten year period (600x) only the most dramatic changes are visible.

  • 2017 Bull Market – $20k ATH 
  • 2018/2019 Bear Market falling below $3k
  • Covid Crash March 2020 falling below $5k
  • 2020/21 Bull Market – $61k ATH

However, if you switch to a log scale, where the Y axis plots two equal percent changes as the same vertical distance on the scale you are able to get a different perspective.
