>classic bitcoin log chart designed to hide the massive volatility of bitcoin
No, it's not designed to hide volatility, it's designed to show a quick overview of the long term changes of Bitcoin. Logarithmic scales are incredibly useful when you have very fast rate of change. Look at a linear chart of Bitcoin over the same range, it's not very useful.
You can quickly see from this chart that Bitcoin is still on a massive tear, though the annotations are a bit cheeky.
