How much is your idea worth? (alien.top)

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?

If ideas worth anything, there would be an idea marketplace.

Great perspective with regards to the marketplace notion...now with that said, you could argue that patents are the marketplace.

People with the idea and the ability to patent it create an idea with a potential value. That value is realized via commercialization, licensing, or litigation.

Thanks for making me think today.
