Dina,

>i want money. i like money. money money money.

Money is:-

a) a fluid conduit for exchanging value and
b) one store of value

Which means if you solved a problem [1] whereby

1) you properly perceived the problem

2) you make available your solution to the problem at a fraction of the cost of the problem itself

3) early adopters grasp the cost of the problem and therefore buy into your solution

4) you allocate enough resources for publicity in the price of the solution, to enable the non-early adopters to become aware of your solution

5) the solution is NOT available elsewhere for free

You make money, correct?

Would you like to know what the formula for what types of problems are better than others to solve so that making money is less uncertain?

And how to price solutions, so that like a tree that can afford 999 out of 1000 seeds it sows to be "wasted", the price of "failures" are included in the success?

[1] By definition problems have costs, otherwise it should not be called a problem. The costs may be time lost, hassles, insecurity, inefficiency, wasted money, unhappiness, neurosis, fear etc.

Why is above unclear to so many? Because we have so many castrated bimbos who think that problems are created by God. [My message to them: Yeah, right and yes God has a special place in heaven for you for unthinkingly blaming him, when all other beings, eg ants, birds, tigers etc don't think so. Yeah right, your brains and balls were not meant to be used - they are there for cosmetic purposes.]
