What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.
Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

Critique #3: Bitcoin is Too Volatile
critique: Bitcoin is too volatile to be a useful currency or store-of-value.
rebuttal: It's true that bitcoin historically has very high trading volatility. This is not a surprise for an asset whose market cap has grown to hundreds of billions of dollars, from 0 a decade ago. Furthermore, bitcoin's volatility *is* decreasing as it matures.
At this intermediate stage, where bitcoin's market cap is significant but still one or more orders of magnitude below where one might expect a mature global store of value to be, thinking of bitcoin as an emerging store of value is helpful. Ultimately, it's possible that once bitcoin achieves more maturity and a higher market cap, it can become a directly useful unit of account and medium of exchange as well.
