Is it safe to reveal my business ideas?

[integral]

I know it's almost childish but I have a fear of revealing my best business ideas or dream business that I'm currently actively working on, in fear of it being stolen  lol.

I have the fear of not releasing it until it's perfect or that I've built a substantial way of promoting it so that I'm first to Market.

I don't know if this is rational 

There's a lot of wisdom going around that you shouldn't reinvent the wheel with unique Products, just take products that already exist that have been battle tested and copy them. 

But this bores me out of my mind and most of it isn't aligned with my highest vision.

No

Usually I like to share my ideas so people can point our the blind spots. It's really hard to steal someone's idea if you don't have the vision or skill to execute it.

Here's a good article on startup ideas by the founder of Y Combinator 

https://www.paulgraham.com/startupideas.html

On the flip side it's also good to understand the concept of a moat and building stuff that can't be done by someone else or by AI.

If it's a serious idea you should not post it publicly.

[AION]

Depends on the nature of the idea. It is too vague.

That's true but the people that I want to talk about these ideas to are the ones that will likely share the same vision and because of AI now it's never been easier to build out these businesses.

Actually without the attention and the reach the idea is almost worthless.

Every influencer is pushing cookie cutter products that provide little value and they make millions.

What are you Claude Coding?

If you're already puting it in Claude, it's already stolen

The genra is obvious, actualized video games.

This reminds me of that time I had come up with a pick up line so good that I didn't want to tell it to the girl because I wanted to keep it for myself

I was trolling you but yea I'd say there's not much point in worrying about it.

[Jannes]

I heard the tip once that its better to share your ideas because that way you can find people who want to work with you to actualize your idea.

So you don't say I copied it from you when I release mine, I also had a similar idea. Mine is a 2d roguelite that will hopefully turn into a web 3 mmorpg but the point is to bake in useful elements in it so it's not just entertainment. There is the web 3 component so its tied to real economy but also some actualization principles like you meditate to recharge mana and there are multiple magic academies in the universe that more or less teach actually useful stuff based on their fundamental incentives whether it's genuine research or just indoctrination of the people. 

I also based it on our real world but in 1350 there was divergence that introduced magic so that when people study the worldbuilding they study actual history and then it's interesting to explore structurally how our real world would differ it magical elements were introduced. Such as what becomes of labor and standards of living when you can use earth magic to build stuff instead of a bunch of slaves. 

The main character is basically gonna use spiral dynamics principle to unite the world with his blood magic instead of using power to crush people and perpetuating eternal competition.

Fantastic, I was brainstorming a similar vision for a number of different games, whenever I see a game I'll explore all the possibilities how we could transform that genra into an actualized game but while keeping it fun.

Basically it's the games that I want to be playing but they don't exist.

This domain is mostly untapped and so there isn't much competition, The people in this domain have a very limited scope of what the full domain of philosophy spirituality self-development is.

When you're done playing the game you should have practiced, learned and mastered a real world skill.
