I've seen a lot of people who don't want to share and talk about their ideas for fear of them being stolen. I've always believed that an idea without implementation is worth nothing. But maybe I'm wrong.
Tell me, have you ever had an idea stolen from you?
Did you really want to do it? Or do you realize now that you never would have made this app/business anyway?

I agree that most ideas are worth $0 or very close to zero. But to add a slightly different view, I think there are some ideas that do have inherent value. If the idea is dependent on being a really niche subject matter expert then the execution can be a little less important. You still need to execute on the idea and vision, but these really niche SMEs can sometimes find gaps in the market that are extremely receptive to any solution. Whereas most markets in this day and age require a fairly polished solution.
