Yes, we can all agree how important it is to evaluate Bitcoin's performance by selecting the correct arbitrary start and end dates, which should naturally be based on the position of the earth on its revolution around the sun.

After all, one should always measure new technologies like Bitcoin by finding the oldest and least relevant technology one can think of, and applying it without thought or reason.

Really, guys? I expect more intelligence from my fellow Bitcoiners. You disappoint me.

Forget the dates. Dates don't matter - study the patterns.
