    @pleaseclap @mayintoronto @nev @swelljoe To go the less capitalistic approach, without patent protection, would take a similar number of years of contracting crops grown by farmers. That would be repeated enough years until I could make a public offering and dominate the supply of the seeds for a few years until others scale up.

    I'd need to make a return on the 1.5 decades of work in the short years it'd take for other growers to start selling them.

    @pleaseclap @mayintoronto @nev @swelljoe Or I could just start selling packets of seeds now, and someone with more land and farm resources would start growing them and take over the market within a couple of years.

    I'd have to make enough money in those few years to account for my decade of work.

    People would quickly be selling them all over Etsy and other places, with a story sanitized of any references to me, just like has happened routinely to others.
