platinum is fine as a speculative asset but fuck the other meme metals imo

>>50286033
First for Birb coin!
Based, and checking digits of truth.
Silber supremacist need to chill the fuck out.

>>50286170
Birb!

>>50286059
Im not advocating any watermellonium, or whatever crazy stuff.
But platinum group metals are amongst the most precious metals for a reason.
And definitely worth looking into as an investment.
Especially with a possible supply chain fail around the corner.
If Russia stops it's platinum and palladium exports, we will be riding bycicles to work and use the same air filtration systems forever.

give me my yotsuba

>>50286033
imagine have 10oz of platinum bars bros. that must be so expensive. oh wait hahahahahaha

bros, finally a place for us to gather in peace.

If those fags don't want to buy any, so be it. I want my shinies diversified.

at this point i'm willing to concede that platinum is fine
just no more talk of meme metals, PLEASE

The point to buying rhenium is to deny the government the metal to build missiles with and bomb you.

That's actually funny, but not just for the reason the punchline conveys. When the fiat crash happens in western countries, will the author follow it up with the knight apologizing to the dragon for being so dismissive (I think not).

>bronze is LITERALLY 1:1 right now with both the USD and GBP
wrong thread sorry lads

my stash is heavy in silver. i want to even it out a bit with more gold even though g/s ratio says buy more silver. would it really be so bad to get an oz? ~1800/oz is affordable atm for me

>>50289242
buy chrome

>>50289182

No, like in real life they just double down into delusion, rationalizing it in the way prescribed by the hidden hand.

>>50289242
I have gold silver and platinum. But I'm more heavy on the gold/platinum side. Somewhere along 30:1 ratio.

>>50289242

Gold is good because it is a lot of value in a small object.

>>50289242
4 pounds of silver feels better in the hand.

King of Metals.
95% of all PT is produced and mined in south Africa and in Russia. Both niggers, and both at war with us.
Supply chain fail imminent.
Picrel, rhodium Chart. Also a platinum group metal. One supply chain fail.

>>50293124
All the platinum mined would only fill a football stadium 1/5th of the way.

It could also fill an entire stadium that is 1/5th the size of a normal sized stadium.

yes my constant shilling has finally paid off, a /pmgg/, genius!

>>50293251
I would like to add that platinum is the skeleton key of organic chemistry. A catalyst that does not degrade, it's literally like a magic wand from harry potter(it starts reactions without being part of them).

>Platinum usages
See pic attached, anticatalyst usage is also mostly for diesel machinery

>Platinum sources
https://www.statista.com/graphic/1/273624/platinum-metal-reserves-by-country.jpg

South african plat typically costs ~950$ per oz to procure, this is because the mining is hazardous and the refining process is complex. They have to send 21st century slaves down the mineshafts by hand. Meanwhile Russia mines silver in an open-pit, leading to much easier/cheaper supply (~350$/oz), however the Russian supply is dwindling and all Russian sources are currently banned due to the Ukraine conflict.

>Platinum Rarity
Crust rarity estimates put it at about the same rarity as gold, but the production is 1/30th(172 vs. 3100 tonnes - 2016), and it does not have the mining history of gold.


I have more, and can keep going.

=====The Rhenium Newsletter=====

Hello rhenium fans, this is the first issue of the rhenium newsletter. Today we have big news

https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1545907096176283648

Recently Russian children on the Kuril Islands performed a song mocking the nation of Japan saying "The samurai will never get their islands back". The islands they're referring to of course are the Kuril Islands. The Kuril Islands are a series of volcanic islands which is one of the only places on Earth to mine Rhenium.

How much rhenium is mined per year?
>49 metric tonnes, of rhenium was produced from mines around the world during 2018
How much rhenium is on the Kuril Islands?
>Kuril Islands rhenium production should reach 40 tonnes by2025. Interfax : Russia Metals & Mining Weekly; Moscow (Aug 13, 2015)

You can bend gold and leave marks on pure gold by simply using your teeth meanwhile platinum has a mohs of at minimum of 4 with no additional alloys and impure
Like I said though Gold and Platinum having sex inside of jewelry is the best choice

>>50297551
platinum and palladium are good for catalytic converters for gas vehicles, and is tied to the fate of non-electric cars and lockdowns, that said now is probably still a good time to buy unless we heading into more lockdowns, which maybe we are

Stop hating on platinum, and no bully platypus.
There's more to precious metals than just silver.
Goodnight.

>>50299922
I have never hated on platinum, even though the only platinum have is in my catalytic converter.
The shills are getting smarter and using our autistic tribalism against us, don't fall for the memes anon, at least all precious metal holders have something that needs to be mined and refined, instead of crypto niggercoins.

>>50300024
>Shills
Meh, it's really just the silverbacks that get all autistic about it.
I understand their point, marginally, and i understand where you are coming from.
They are afraid that buying platinum will dump silver even further.
But really, it's just a handful anons in /pmg/ anyways, with the combined purchase power of a microwave.
I hold all 3 metals, silver for it's properties and monetary value, gold cause it's gold, and platinum for it's potential.

For organic chemistry you should include palladium. It's one of the most prominent metals used in organic catalysis. It would be used more if regulators didn't impose such ridiculous limits on how little can be present in the products.

Tell me more about Bismuth. You have my attention.
I have some tellurium as a gamble. It's surprisingly low-abundance in the Earth's crust and it's quite unique with many tellurides having outstanding physical properties. Demand is low and it's a complete crapshoot whether or not it gets adopted for anything big industrially that puts a strain on supply though.

>>50303271
Not sure the best place. A bunch of links here for unusual metals

https://www.reddit.com/r/Wallstreetosmium/wiki/index/sourcing

the best suppliers for stuff like Rhenium tend to be people that supply industry.

Also, stuff like Osmium powder is incredibly dangerous. So its good to research both price and safety before buying in depth.

>>50310815
I think, gold is at a discount now. Everything below 2.000 with premiums is nice.
The fake dollar strength, compared to other currencies, is what's holding back gold, and PMs in general. I very much doubt that the fake induced strength of the dollar is gonna hold much longer.
So ye, I'd say to for It.

>>50310940
feels like price will be lower in a month might wait a bit

>>50287466
Kek. I like the sentiment, but unless you buy ALL the metal, I'm not sure that strategy will be very effective since the cost doesn't matter too much for the buyers who have "money" printers. I'm pretty sure the US spends dollars on weapons just for the sake of borrowing and spending dollars.

I just bought 1.25kg Indium.

Uh whut? You eating it bro?

At last, they're finally here.
THANK YOU MINTANON!

>>50312111

Based purchase. I haven't looked into Indium. Actually quite rare and used for screens and stuff.

>>50312111

What made you choose Indium out of interest? Its kind of refreshing that it can actually be melted into bars relatively easily, just watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TviX7V-ay5I

The amount mined is quite small >>50307425 but the estimated mass abundance in earth is estimated at about 10x platinum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precious_metal#Rough_world_market_price_($/kg)

(though such estimates can be wrong)

Cool purchase either way, I may order some bars myself.

>>50312220
Gonna put it in a jug of water, apparently it's a missing trace metal yet the body actually benefits from it in a positive regulating way.
>>50312486
Yeah i found it pretty cheap, 400eu for a KG.
>>50312607
Was looking at random metals, liked the fact that it was actually pressed in bars. Also the usecases and rarity.

>>50312332
how did you get these

>>50313025

I think I am going to buy 1 bar at least. Its completely non toxic too which is cool. It would be fun to make coins and stuff out of it at home as its got to be the most easy metal to work.

Oof!

you know I thought this was retarded at first glance, however it has the same crust-rarity as silver and is only like 3-15$/lb. I am finding it at about 10$/lb but will keep looking

>>50302863

Trying to sus out Tellurium. Seems rare in earths crust as well as the amount mined. When looking up the price states 80 dollars a kilo. Looking around metal dealers the prices are all over the place. Often around $1 a gram but Luciteria seems less.

Luciteria seem cheaper in this instance.
