Like Bitcoins rhodium exhibits three properties:

It is very rare, (much) rarer than Gold
It is somewhat of a fringe investment
It is subject to hypes

And most importantly it is one of the few actual assets which exhibit wild price swings.


I find it very interesting how chaotic those are, so if you think to know what bitcoin will do next over any longer period of time: Think again Wink

I used to observe rhodium prices last year as i noticed that the price pattern always had a unique behavior. Real good find that you managed to find a pattern between BTC and rhodium. What this needs now is some detailed analysis  Smiley

I think the man who discovered Rhodium, William H. Wollaston, would agree.



Most people don't realize this, but he was an ardent Bitcoin fan, and early adopter. You can see him above looking over his paper wallets in this famous portrait.

No, it's digital coffee.

Cuz look how volatile coffee is. Must be the same underlying dynamics:

Not volatile enough.
But there is a point here, historically grain was used as a backing asset for the first occurrences of currency.

Other than that the similarity ends here since it isn't really limited, it is mainly dependent on fundamental production demand and it is consumed.

Ok. Eyeballing it, the volatility of Rhodium and Coffee looks similar enough.

Bitcoin, of course, has been more volatile. NewLibertyStandard quoted $0.0007639 per BTC in 2009. Now we're close to $300. OMG, the volatility!!!

Bitcoin is still a toy in terms of global relevance. It's in its infancy. To cry "volatility" is both to miss the point, and to fail to acknowledge where we are in the lifecycle. In short, such observations are meaningless.
