Man I wish I knew how to scam idiots like this
Appeal to past experience
Present an ambitious “vision” that claims to require said past experience to fully understand
Allow your targets to start building the product in their imagination based on the crumbs you gave them with step 2
Sell disjointed tangential products that don’t interfere with the player’s dream logic and promise they will connect to your cohesive vision with time
Find “technical delays”
Express that you need backers to buy more of the dream to help get through the technical delays
Repeat for 9 years until the market begins to retract
Open the dream up to asian markets
