..the only real way to make money, is _evade_ "the system competition",
by coming up with something unique that nobody else can offer, and that
you can charge crazy money for.

..e.g. http://mustad-fishing.com/ came up with a crazy cheap way of
making fish hooks, that allowed them to grab the market by selling
at a fraction of the competitors prices and still get crazy profits.

..they did not patent their fish hook making process, they kept it
secret, because patents expires in 20 years, while fishing in A.D.
1877 could be expected to carry on for many more millennia.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
