  Shrimp > blockchain. Can’t disagree with him there.

  For that matter, shit is better than blockchain. Because at least shit is good for manure.

      crypto currency is actually very useful when you need to buy meds that states dont want you to have. i dont know if blockchain is the best way to implement decentralized currencies (proof of work blockchain definitely isnt) but its what we got rn

  Anon discovers basic capitalism and lucked into an underserved market.

  source

  • Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Isn’t this technically just commerce? At least until he does an IPO.

    source

    • Donkter@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      No? He’s acquiring capital (land, shrimp farm equipment, shromps) and using his labor to create something (more shromps) and selling his product for a profit.

      He owns the property, takes the investment risk, and keeps the profits. In theory he’s competing in a market with other shrimp sellers but like I said from the sound of it the market is pretty thin so he gets to sell for a huge profit.

    Anon also doesn’t know about all applicable regulations and is yet to be audited by the IRS.

      You can also earn money after you’re caught, but the protection money will eat most of your profits.

  • Buddahriffic@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    And making the mistake of telling everyone. If everyone gets into it, it will stop being profitable. Though everyone will have cheap shrimp, so it’s not a complete loss.

    I wonder how much it costs to maintain the farm and if it’s worthwhile for small scale production for personal and friends/family.

  I know a guy who bought a plot of almost worthless land an hour out of town fenced jt and bought a bunch of goats. We all thought he was insane.

  10 years later he is retired at 40 because it turns out that certain communities will pay very good money for organic free range goat.

    There’s multiple avenues how you can increase your wealth, if you have investment capital, and nothing goes wrong.

    If you’ve got the time and the energy and the stomach to handle birthing and raising live goats, it is very profitable… for the person who got a large low-interest loan to set up the farm. Significantly less so for the people doing the actual agricultural labor.

• Metz@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  And then you realize that stuff like this is strictly regulated and you forgot to comply with all the standards for product safety and hygiene and the state is going to rip your ass so far open that a truck can make a u-turn it it.

    Just do it in a red state and buy favor with the governor.

    source

    • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That’s expensive. My governor is an alfalfa farmer in a desert state where alfalfa is ~1% of GDP and >50% of water use, or something like that. He’s already a grifter, so getting my own grift approved is going to be expensive.

      Unironically why small business goons love voting Republican.

      You can brew mutant shrimp in a vat in your garage and take them to a wholesaler in a leaky bag labeled “Wild Caught Magic Beans” then sell them at some absurd markup. When half your customer base gets food poisoning, you blame DEI, throw down a smoke bomb, and run off with your profits.

  The one thing OP is missing is the type of shrimp. Don’t bother with food shrimp. That’s unprofitable! The real money is in fancy aquarium shrimp like these:

    I’ve looked into it, unless there’s a bird flu epidemic, you’re not going to be profitable. It’s literally more expensive for me to raise chickens than buy eggs from across the company.

    So I guess the solution is to spread bird flu?
