Intellectual property is bs. If you can't capitalize it quickly enough then it either wasn't a great idea, you're not interested or you're not brilliant enough to understand your own idea. If you take someone's idea, go own it. If you're trying to sell your idea, but you know you'll only ever have one great idea then you shouldn't be in the business of capitalizing ideas. Protectionism is for the feebleminded.

Let that fax in . These are cases in the tech industries where one with the ideas get boxxed out with the one with the funding, your idea is stolen and another person paid to develop it .

Knowing what to do with an idea is just as important as having the idea. If you miss the opportunity, think of another idea.
It wasn’t an opportunity, it was an idea 
Well then it didn't belong to anyone 🤷♂️
Yes ideas 💡 exist in the spiritual dimension anyone can tap in and grab them . If you steal someone’s idea because you don’t have the patience to find your own you better make the best out of that not so intellectual property
