ESG funds, crypto, properties. Looking to get into commodities as well, but not sure which to choose considering space mining is coming in a decade or so...

I never understood the proposed business model for asteroid mining. Maybe you mean the moon? Either way, getting stuff down is expensive. You would need to mine a lot of expensive stuff for it to be worthwhile. But if you dump a lot of stuff into a market, you might tank the price. (Yes, this is hand-waving. But I think the general points should hold.)

Asteroid mining! Does anyone else think immediately of "Elite"? Though I was only ever 'Mostly harmless', playing on a neighbour's BBC Micro until I got a ZX Spectrum 48K :-)
