NASA headed towards golden asteroid worth $10,000 quadrillion

i never said world economy's would collapse. it wouldn't.at least not right away. but i'm more than sure that it would take a major hit on the worlds economy and that worlds economy would need some time to adjust. years if not decades. a lot of countries have gold reserves. usa has the most gold which has the value of over 310 billion.now compare that to what that asteroid is worth. wars would get started over this. at first. but then...


..gold would be worth what iron is today.

that is if any of us survived the nuclear wars

LOL now there is gonna be a nuclear war too?!?!?!

F#ck man if we find a megagillion worth of gold we need to nuke that gold apparently its trying to kill us all.

I don't buy it, but like I said I suck at economics so I got no good defense of it outside of logically it doesn't check out to me & it sounds like this could happen with a great many things if we just happened into a giant sh^tton of some resource that would basiclaly add a bunch of money to the world income..

Gold has a lot of great qualities especially in its ability to not corrode or rust.

I think more realistically than mining an asteroid, since there is gold in seawater in the oceans, if they can figure out a cheaper way to extract from there that's probably what will happen.

Gold isn't the easiest thing in the world to mine or refine. It takes a lot of energy and lots of materials and manpower in addition to its scarcity.


Gold serves as collateral in a way when countries banks borrow money although no government backs their currency with gold.

With an influx of gold (in which there can be silver and platinum in it ) I think they would be scrambling for something else as a store of value/collateral and there would definitely be some trying times for the markets until they did.

gold
to be fair, we are no more closer to extracting gold from seawater than we are from an asteroid.

we have only explored 5% of oceans. to dis day!

who knows, maybe mining on an asteroid will be easier than roaming the oceans.

wars have been started over less than that. and this something that most of the countries that 'counts' have in common. the gold.

there will be a nuclear war. maybe not in our lifetime, but 100% in the next 200 years. it's in our nature.

Oh I thought you were directly related this windfall of gold to a nuclear war.

world war i started because an austrian prince got killed.

the 1920's war beetwen greece and bulgaria happened because of a fvvcking dog (the war of the stray dog).

never underestimate people's pettiness.
