Opportunity does fade. In ancient times you would compete with other people in your village. Over time your competition becomes other villages, other kingdoms, other countries/empires, and now we're at a point where competition is global. Mega-corporations like McDonald's, Amazon, Samsung are everywhere.
- lastofthemojito 4y agoMaybe it fades, maybe the nature of opportunity changes. A while back I found a reproduction of an old local newspaper from the late 1700s. Lots of interesting stuff, but one of the unexpected things that really hit me was seeing multiple advertisements by shoemakers in a town of maybe a couple thousand people. That small of a town and 2 or 3 folks are focused on making shoes! Of course now the town is much larger and we have 0 shoemakers. But we've got plenty of software engineers working from home, etc. We'll never go back to the days of local shoemakers, just like we'll never go back to the early days of Bitcoin, but something interesting is sure to be around the corner.
