Title: Shouldn't we use natural logarithmic y-axis scale? Post by: noize_1234 on April 18, 2018, 02:45:38 PM I think we should also use the data of the 2011 bubble. And what i am wondering is why are we showing the y-axis in base10 Logarithms, while we are studying the natural adoption of bitcoin. In that case, shouldn't we use the natural logarithm? (e^x)?
In excel, (sorry did't get tradingview to do it for me) i managed to show a logarithmic y-axis with the base of 2.7 (couldn't get closer to 2.71828....) And when drawing lines on there it looks like we are just getting started :-) My subwaves are probably a bit small... https://i.snag.gy/qxNStH.jpg Title: Re: Shouldn't we use natural logarithmic y-axis scale?

And I agree with you about the log Scale. Because what is always important is not the price change. What is important is the ratio of change and its percentage. So charts in Log scale work better and can be more helpful. Title: Re: Shouldn't we use natural logarithmic y-axis scale? Post by: noize_1234 on April 18, 2018, 03:38:37 PM On coinmarketcap you can use logarithmic with a base of 10.
The idea is to use a natural logarithmic y axis, base of e (2.718...) Title: Re: Shouldn't we use natural logarithmic y-axis scale? Post by: surfinonmyownwavebaby on April 18, 2018, 05:53:27 PM On coinmarketcap you can use logarithmic with a base of 10. While that is more ideal I bet the fact that people don't use log scales at all is crazy. Thanks for shedding light on this. I only realized this halfway through my crypto journey about log graphs, if only I had known before...The idea is to use a natural logarithmic y axis, base of e (2.718...) |
