not the prices itself but that rise of prices is going up slower ( 289.4% in May compared to 287.9% in April).
Nerds love second order derivative arguments.
"It's still increasing but the rate at which it's increasing is going down"
Or, as people who don't have a lanyard cutting off oxygen to their brain correctly perceived it, shits still going up.
Just keep taking derivatives and eventually you'll find one going in the direction you want.
This is e^x erasure
Hah, yeah.
But on a real-world data set, even if the underlying phenomenon is e^x, you'll keep amplifying sample noise until the derivatives are basically random. Assuming you even have enough data to keep taking derivatives.
