"just the world's oceans"? I think you understate just how vast the oceans are. That's some seriously diluted gold.

- jws 9y agoEach person’s 5kg of gold also comes with a bonus of about 1/6 of a cubic kilometer of seawater. Hopefully yours is near a beach so you don’t have to haul it too far.
- pwinnski 9y agoI suspect the comparison was against asteroid mining. The oceans are vast and difficult, but less vast and less difficult than space.
- Retric 9y agoMy point is the earth is huge. 260 billion cubic miles worth of asteroids without going into space. Sure we are currently limited to a tiny fraction of that but start processing magma directly is an option.
