Supply/demand is missing from this analysis.

That’s the good news. The bad news is a loaf of bread would then cost a $1,000,000.

Idiots. If everyone had this much, it would have the worth of gravel. Stupid socialists.

Everyone will have gold toilet seats, and porcelain sinks will be a luxury item :P

The cost of just mining will drive up the cost of these
asteroid minerals and metals making them much more expensive
than earth mined metals and minerals. I don't
see the savings unless someone has some sort of
technology that will make mining asteroids much less
expensive than earth metals and minerals.

Bring in the heavy metals back here will increase the mass of earth...messing up tides...distance to moon and sun...and crashing the earth into the sun....then gold and platinum is really worth nothing...

NASA estimates that the total value of asteroids out there could be up to $700 quintillion – equivalent to £75 billion each for us here on Earth.This is idiocy. The volume of asteroids is likely much larger than our whole planet! That's like estimating the value of Jupiter divided by the number of people on Earth. Not a meaningful calculation.

Asteroidal gold is free [shipping and handling not included] If it costs $60,000 / lb to get something into geosynchronous orbit then it costs $60,000/lb x $60,000 to get something into geo that can bet it back again from geo) or $3.6 B per pound of gold, not allowing for the cost of getting any handling or packaging material there and back again. Oh and this is an understatement since it doesn't just have to get to geo but to sun orbit and back again.
Yes it's free except that instead of paying for extraction and reprocessing costs you merely have to pay shipping costs.
