I love how Bloomberg immediately jumps to some market/chicago/hbs/wharton concept of wealth and ycombinator thinks of wealth in terms of actually prosperity that can be created.

From the article: "It’s because wealth mostly doesn’t come from big hunks of metal. It comes from the ability to create things that satisfy human desires." I am failing to see much difference between this definition and your ycombinator definition.

  From the title: "A Giant Asteroid of Gold Won't Make Us Richer" I am failing to see how this title represents the engineering concept of wealth.

      Yeah I would say that is a safe assumption. https://geology.com/minerals/gold/uses-of-gold.shtml https://geology.com/minerals/gold/uses-of-gold.shtml
