Quest: View All Price History

1. Visit this website: Bitcoin Price History

 * Scale: Choose Logarithmic.

Exercise

Using a logarithmic scale on a data chart helps to manage large ranges of values by compressing the scale of higher values more than lower ones.

This makes it easier to:

• See patterns across a wide range of magnitudes.
• Highlight trends that might be missed on a linear scale.

For example:

• At the beginning of the BTC price chart, the large change in price is not visible when compared to the larger, more recent price spikes.

• By selecting a logarithmic scale, these earlier price spikes become more visible, offering a clearer understanding of historical trends.
