I love how people just hanging out can monetize their resourcefulness, for millions of dollars none-the-less. He allowed years to pass without really moving forward on the growth of this idea, but that would be foolish this day and age, as communication is much easier and technology has spread the idea of entrepreneurism.

I have never think that such a small round plastic thing can have such a big market and owners can earn such a big amount of money. It seems that every ideas can not be ingored.
From this story, we can learn how to make a whole brand and control the market.
