How it is measured

The series is the monthly closing price of Bitcoin, the original cryptocurrency, from Twelve Data's market feed. Crypto trades around the clock across many venues, so the close is a reference price at the end of the period, composited across exchanges rather than set by any single one. A price series is not total return: dividends do not exist here, and long-run investor returns are price change alone.

What the curve shows

Price charts reward reading structure rather than points: the drawdowns mark the crises, the flat years mark the doubt, and the slope between them is the compounding. Over this window the price rose roughly 162-fold. Held against an index, a single name's line shows how much of its story is the market's and how much is its own.

Frequently asked questions
Are dividends included in this price?
Cryptocurrencies pay no dividends, so price change is the whole return, before fees and custody. There is no total-return version of this series to reconcile.
Why do prices gap between periods?
The series samples the closing price once per period, so anything that happened between closes, splits, news, whole intraday ranges, is invisible. Finer-grained series are available through the markets source in the editor.
