Gold vs. Bitcoin
Bitcoin’s range dwarfs gold’s on a linear axis, so this chart uses a log scale: equal vertical distances represent equal percentage moves rather than equal dollar moves. That is what lets gold’s comparatively gentle climb and Bitcoin’s much larger swings sit on the same readable chart.
