I don't understand. It's BitcoinWisdom's default chart, and BitcoinWisdom is used by many traders in the Bitcoin community. What relevance does logarithmic scaling have here?

I wasn't saying the price was going to continue to linearly trend to zero. That would be impossible. I was saying I was an idiot for gambling that it wouldn't trend from $1100 to $400.



I know it's the default.

What looks like a huge fall to you in the old graph is actually revealed as a rather small fall compared to its history. Your point in the text on the graph is still correct, but it's not quite as bad as it looks there.
