The log scale is awfully misleading, especially since money doesn't really work like that.

Anything but a log scale would be misleading. When showing long term growth of something that has grown so drastically, it is imperative to use a log scale so that 10% gains look consistent over time. Especially in finance.

you can press the "linear" button if you'd like.

but i think the primary point of the comment was to highlight the "Bitcoin has been declared dead 478 times" part
