Haha oh wow...

When the LINEAR graph starts looking amazing too, you know it's time!



The linear graph is more dramatic than the log graph....I literally think you have this the wrong way around.

Huh, I thought since the logarithmic graph pushes lower prices to a higher visual position that it made the lower prices look "better". I'm a newbie at all this so I know I could be completely wrong.

Also 680!!!

If you go up steadily at a linear pace, a linear graph will show a straight line from the origin. If you represent this logarithmically it will look like a curve tapering off, like the creation rate of bitcoin curve looks (on a linear graph).

A straight line on a LOG graph looks like an insane upward bending curve when displayed on a linear graph.

Therefore, patterns look less extreme on a log graph than on a linear graph and we can do a whole jump up on a linear graph and the log graph won't look that impressive.
