> i'm just saying, that because bitcoin's supply is power of 2, a log2 chart is the right one to use

I’m just saying that there’s no difference, from a charting perspective because their shapes are identical, merely scaled.

If you take a log10 chart, then fit it so that the min and max are at the bottom and top of the rendered height, then do the same for a log2 chart, the two charts will be literally identical, with the only exception being the labels on the y-axis.

Algebraically, using a different log base results in a linear scaling factor on the output. Plotting to pixels requires its own linear scaling factor. And so a log chart will look the same regardless of the base, provided the pixel scaling factor is adjusted accordingly.

It’s funny, I remember the seemingly excruciating march around $9k back in 2020. But at that time there seemed to be more things to distract us.

The smoothest brains are the easiest to wash.

Yes, the log(2) curve will grow β€œfaster”. Its values are scaled by a constant factor, namely log2(10) = 3.32.

But when you render a chart for display, there’s an implicit scaling between the actual values and the position (in pixels) of that visual element (line).

This implicit scaling factor arbitrary, and chosen by the charting library, or manually by the chart author, to showcase the phenomena under investigation.

You could add to this chart another log line with base, say, 10 billion, and the other lines would be entirely squashed at the bottom. But the shape of each line would remain the same, preserving the change proportionality property.

But why would the FBI allow their own guy to get caught?

It should be identical, in practice, just scaled.

The property of a log chart is that proportional changes have the same height. So 2x has the same vertical height whether it’s $0.01 to $0.02 or from $10k to $20k.

This proportionality property exists irrespective of the base used in the log operation. The raw values will differ, but it’s common to scale the height of the chart based on the display anyway to focus on what you’re trying to show.
