There is a rock floating in space worth trillions of dollars — the 16 Psyche asteroid, which is about 200 kilometers in diameter and almost entirely composed of metals such as iron, nickel, gold, and platinum, valued at $10^19. If this wealth could reach Earth, it would not only make everyone a billionaire, but it might also make gold completely worthless.
NASA has launched the "Psyche Mission," with the probe launched in October 2023 and expected to arrive at this metallic asteroid in August 2029, where it will orbit and explore for two years.
Interestingly, Bitcoin has a fixed maximum supply, unlike an asteroid that could suddenly bring an enormous amount of wealth. Perhaps in the future, Bitcoin may become the most scarce "currency."
