I feel like this is not a new insight:

+ many, many more.

I thought this article was going to be about bitcoin miners.

The only ones making money on bitcoin these days (i.e. excluding the early adopters) are those selling the mining machines.

I thought this article was going to be about Flappy Bird cloners.

As soon as I saw articles about it, I knew I should write an ebook and sell source for a clone. I saw a few people doing exactly that. Wonder how well they did?

Combine the Flappy Bird cloning trend with the Bitcoin cloning trend and start FlappyCoin.
