1 Near Earth Asteroid=20 Trillion $ USD. There are practically an infinite number of asteroids in the universe.
Check out my free documentary Antimatter: The Future is Now. There is not enough public interest in sustaining civilization with better and more efficient proposals. Entertainment and propaganda is getting too much attention.
Search "The Astrophysical Journal Letters: THE DISCOVERY OF GEOMAGNETICALLY TRAPPED COSMIC-RAY ANTIPROTONS" or "Thunderstorms create Antimatter"

@Eringuy13 it would be melted and part or the oceans of liquid iron and nickle but the concentration should be higher per tonne than on asteroids. It won't do us any good though we would need technology far far beyond what we have now and even beyond most science fiction.

wait does that mean that if you dig down thousands of kilometers you would find kilotonnes of gold from Earth's formation?

Silly professor, noone cares about gold. To get the best tools you need diamond. Try digging to -12.6 and start a branch mine.
