“During a gold rush, sell shovels”
1 comments

Modern take: during a gold rush, review the shovels.
Build a shovel app?!
Shovel-as-a-Service*

[*] Also known as "tool hire" and has been around since the dawn of mankind

I package shovel-industry futures into financial instruments and sell them to speculators.
I strip out the sharp-bladed, fiberglass handled ones and sell them individually, then combine the leftovers with other shitty shovels and sell them as sets of top quality, grade-A dirt moving implements.
and I create a cryptocurrency whose name is shovel but has nothing to do with the shovel but its just for the hype.
May I offer you an animated shovel NFT that will cement you as an early trailblazing thoughtleader in the earth-moving space?
I think we have a winner…
