From there I downloaded bitcoin from the asset dropdown and graphed it using LibreOffice Calc. I stuck with a linear graph because I recently found out log graphs are used to deceive people. These graphs show bitcoin's various bubbles and crashes on a linear scale so they needed to be graphed separately. I don't think it's as beautiful as one log graph, but hopefully it's easier to interpret

Can you explain the color choices for the gradient, why are you using a seemingly intentionally more rich color pallet & depth for +20*c vs a very muted blue for -20*c?

Did the data alone not paint the fiery globe image you wanted to project? You may as well have manipulated the data.

This is not beautiful data, it is a subjective abuse of color to paint a story the data alone didn't tell.

Hense why we need to have more members in the house of representatives, 1 person representing 700k is not all all representitive/some states have only 1 representitive meaning its effectively a winner takes all

Because everyone has just accepted the state of things and it hasn't become that big of an issue.

Yes, it's an issue but it's not something that greatly affects the daily lives of many. At least not in an immediate sense.
