Monopoly depends on whether governments grab control of the space mining. If they do competition becomes war or at least dependent on power relations.

precious metals are going to need to get a lot more precious for an investment to pay off that requires escaping earths gravity with equipment and fuel to remotely mine and process for minerals, and then bring it safely back to earth. Gold, for example, is quite heavy and seems like a re-entry concern. Escaping gravity is only half the problem.

The value of a thing [metal, oil, avocados] is necessarily increased by not putting it on the market..............

Assuming that asteroid is spherical, its value works out to not quite $400 per cubic foot.
How many cubic feet would be returned to earth on each trip?

Renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson I guess "renowned" means he's on TV a lot.

Just attach rockets to it and point it at the earth.
What could possibly go wrong?.....................

There’s already a trillionaire family; how can another be the first?
They are European and have been into banking for several centuries. They are low profile though.

Once that much metal becomes available, the price will drop to cheaper than water ! <
Yep. At one time pure aluminum was more valuable than gold. Then some clever fellow figured out how to cheaply extract aluminum from aluminum ore.

You get it, then you withhold it from the market.
You take out ‘loans’ using it as collateral.....................

So a space miner becomes a Trillionaire. What then? I guess you get to work on making your second trillion.
