Ok... just curious on how rich the people in Eve have become. If you are personally a billionaire... please sign and post here.
You need to have 1,000,000,000 or more isk... this does NOT include assests... isk ONLY.

Unless you need large amounts of isk for turnover on a regular basis, you would be an idiot to have 1bn lying around. Buy some BPOs and let the copies earn you money.

/emote has a couple o' bil lying around.
BPC's don't make enough ISK to warrant the effort, imo.

Or you could be an escrow junky waiting for a good deal to turn up (and they do turn up, fairly frequently in fact). I like how you assume anyone who has different market strategies is an idiot though 
Btw, /emote is not a billionaire, he is very poor. Yes poor, that's it. Don't bother shooting my ship, there's nothing valuable there.

I guess this doesn't count space isk then, becuase isk IS an asset.

I think the point of having a LOT of money lying around instead of invested is that at some point you have WAY too much, and there's no reason to have more.
UO gold springs to mind.

I have over a billion isk, but I don't keep them on my main. Imagine, buying a 750 mil shuttle or 10,000 rounds of ammo at 50,000 isk each.
And I think Lallante is right. It's not a good idea to just have it laying around--- reinvest it! I have a megathron and Apoc blueprint original and I leave them in the lab at all times making copies.
When I get 100 total, I put them on escrow for 100 mil and let some other person sell them off for profit of their own. That way, I never have to bother with it. 100 mil each month for doing pretty much nothing, not bad.
And then you can always invest in minerals. I have around 2.5 billion in low grade minerals--- if it's one thing I've learned since release, it's that low grades like pyrite and tritanium always have, and always will go up in value. In 4 or so months, sell them off for an extra third of what you payed for them. Free isk.

Then you would end up with a lot of ISK again. So that would be pointless.

No ISK is capitol only physical objects are assets. My home, car, and computer are assets. The money used to buy them is capitol. Thats why when you buy stock it is refered to as a capitol investment and not an asset because what you are paying for does not physical exist. People really need to take an economics class or two.

so instead of keeping your isk lying around you buy a bunch of low grade mins and hold onto it for four monthes then sell
so your still holding onto yur isk for monthes on end in mineral form.
none the difference IMO.

In eve isk gets you just about whatever you want.... SO,
lets take some advice from the richest man in the world and see what he does with all that "extra money"
Every last billion of Bill Gates' dollars aren't sitting in a personal checking account... they're in the stock market, or in a small business, or in a new product. It's all invested making interest. That way he can have more money.
One thing in money holds ALWAYS holds true. The more you have to invest the more it works for you. Take the guy with the bps as an example. He has an alt waiting for them to turn out 100 bpcs and then he sells them all. He never has to hunt. Never has to mine. Never has to do anything he doesn't wanna do accept wait. It's the golden point in eve everyone should strive to be at.

No isk is asset, what you are refering to is Fixed Assets. Fixed assets is something that is around more then a year and costs more then a few dollars. Did you know Accounts Receivable is an Asset as well. Really, some people should take an accounting course or two and learn what GAP means.
Oh, and stock is an equity and Capital is total value of all assets after minusing libilities. Other words, Net Worth.

FYI, what you mentioned is what lallante means(to the best of my knowledge), if you are a reseller, and you are waiting to find that gisti type x xl shield booster for 1-2 billion and sell it for a profit (for example) or if you just but lots of items and resell them. Either case you need large sums of isk to make the initial purchase.

I opperate under the principal that if I have more then 200mill I need to buy something.
Having isk just sitting in your account really doesn't do much for you. Having it makeing more for you does. Find something thats easy to maintian and make some isk and you'll be happy. Doesn't have to be a lot of isk, 'investments' that make a lot of isk typically require a lot of work. Rather buy some BPO's and copy them for instance, or have low end minerals waiting to be sold etc...

my good buddy diyonisis is right. but it's GAAP, not GAP
cash is just an asset class, defined as having perfect liquidity. the more you need liquidity, the more cash you have to hold.
if you don't know what that means, then just buy a raven bpo and research it for a month and resell. or buy faction loot or low-end mins, which are generally guaranteed to rise at the rate of inflation. with the way inflation is going, holding cash is a recepie for losing money. we're not just talking abotu missed opportunity.

The history and the billion, and why people from USA and Britain have mostly no clue
In mathematical right order:
million = 1.000.000
milliard = 1.000.000.000
billion = 1.000.000.000.000
trillion = 1.000.000.000.000.000
Why do thy say billion when thy should say milliard?
Cause some moron from overseas got it wrong, and most part of britains followed this example of pure stupidity. Its founded in economic, aka "the short ladder"
Who are the morons?
Only the Brits and the USA. Most civilisations count the billion as 10^12
Can we get rid of it?
yes, tendeces shows that even morons comes to the conlussion, abonding a term is stupid, and makes you look like a moron. so we may see the comback of the rightfull owner of the 10^9, the good old milliard
*please activate your humor for this post*
