Part of what you're not taking into account is that all markets went, pretty much, insane just before the time of your base comparison.
Once you get past that, you should ignore the pseudo USD price of combining mutiple markets to arrive at a "price" that's not truely a legitimate value.

Now, let's look at real markets:
March 14, 2017 - KMD/BTC - 0.00000751
April 14, 2017 - KMD/BTC - 0.00011952
Dec 11, 2017 - KMD/BTC - 0.00018155
June 20, 2018 - KMD/BTC - 0.00027889

Plot it all on a realistic trendline and you get:


Even the massive "crashes" that amount to nothing more than realistic corrections end up on an upward trend.
