2/3 Cost to mine gold in space might be high today but will decrease over time.
Why does it matter if we store the space gold in space until it's purchased for use in jewelry, electronics, etc?
There will be 2 prices for gold: on-world and off-world (delivery fee/time).

and what would be the impact of Earth losing 5% of its mass? Gravity reduced by 5%? What happens when honeybadgers can jump 5% higher?

I would be most concerned at the warming impact of 5% of the planet by weight having to reach escape velocity
