Why this visualization?
Mainly because the data nerd in me was interested in the data. Now you can also use it for your petty Twitter dunks on Michael Saylor. Of course hindsight is 20/20, and his decision to convert his company cash (and more) into Bitcoin could have been (and still can be) the greatest decision ever. But saying “there is no second best crypto asset” is a bit of a stretch if you ask me and the data that is currently available.
