What program did you use to make that graph? I'm interested in performing some bitcoin and litecoin trend analysis and I'm trying to find more tools to look at the data with. Send me a PM or respond in the thread please.

I think the graph in OP is made with Excel. I posted an updated graph created with R including its source code.

Where is the math? What fitting curve are you employing?

I use a linear model lm() on the transformed prices.

Code:
result <- lm(log10(prices) ~ months)

As stated before, I'm a R n00b so this might be wrong.
