Thinking On Paper · Mining Asteroids For Platinum | Matthew Gialich, CEO Astroforge · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

And so what do you do?

Well, think about it this way guys, if I can go mine the universe and I am the sole supplier of resources from the universe, well now Earth becomes beholden to me.

And so what does that mean for any country, for any company, for any civilization?

Like that's actually a huge problem that we have to think about long term.

This isn't a company where I'm going to sit here and say, like, we could make a billion dollars or even we could make a trillion dollars.

You have to actually kind of think of a company in asteroid mining as what happens if we actually just invalidate the US dollar?

Yeah, I mean I wasn't expecting you to start off reading out my tweets, but it's pretty great to hear me recap, and that pretty much sums it up, guys.

We as you guys mentioned, like there's been this

human dream for a long time of of mining the universe, right?

And we obviously want to go after a very specific type of asteroid.

We can dive into all those details, but this isn't some like new idea or some new invention we came up with.

I mean, we've been exploiting our own planet.

Since the beginning of time, right?

I mean, that is how we got all the resources we have today.

And the reality is, guys, no matter how you look at it, if we want to expand as a species, we're going to run out of material on this rock.

And in fact, I'll argue economically we already have.

And so we are at the point right now of mining on the planet where we've kind of hit the threshold.

We are looking at going deeper because mines are at their end.

I mean, the largest I'll I'll talk about a very specific element.
