I’ve seen a lot of people who don’t want to share and talk about their ideas for fear of them being stolen. I’ve always believed that an idea without implementation is worth nothing. But maybe I’m wrong.
Tell me, have you ever had an idea stolen from you?
Did you really want to do it? Or do you realize now that you never would have made this app/business anyway?

    Bitcoin was “worth nothing” in 2010. CocaCola has never published its formula.

    The tendency to downplay the brainwork and amount of thought that is often invested in coming up with ideas , is appalling. It is also a trick applied to undermine an ‘ideator’s’ bargaining power.

    Some ideas are not just freestyling in the wind, run-of-the-mill low hanging fruit for easy picking. Sometimes experience aka sweat, blood, and tears has been invested over time in their discovery.

    People who “hog” their viable ideas treat them like diamonds in the rough. They are right.

    Our advice to thinkers, originators and conceptualizers is this: Allways hide your ideas. Offer tasters but not the core, until you are able to implement it, or until the person ready to articulate its value comes along with a self-respecting offer of exchange.

    If neither happens, you still have it within you. Knowing this is easier to live with than knowing you were ripped-off because you didn’t know your idea’s real value when you threw it away.

    Like those who discarded their Bitcoin hash keys at a time when “it couldn’t do nuthin’ for you”.

      Coca-cola has nothing magic, it is just marketing 😂 Bitcoin is open-source, didn’t hide anything…
