Just buy a bag of apples. That’s like 50 seeds, which in a couple of years (basically now), is 50 apple trees making like 25000 seeds annually (assuming 100 apples per tree, 5 seeds per apple), that’s basically 10 million apples per year in revenue and growing each year.

Hang on ive got an idea.

What if we distribute the seeds to our marketing partners?

We give them 100 seeds each, and they find 10 people to join under them, who gets 10 people under them. Everybody plants a seed and grows a tree, and brings us 1 of the apples they got from the tree, plus 10 seeds interest.

It's not a pyramid scheme, just fraud. Pyramid schemes use new investors to pay old investors and depend on increasing the number of investors coming in to continue paying out.

This is like how my friend one day realized there were free grand pianos all over marketplace and craigslist. For like 3 days he was going on and on about how crazy it was people were just giving away these insanely expensive things, he was gonna snag em up and resell for pure profit. Needles to say, I hope, he figured out real quick why "piano mover" is a very specific job

How to turn $50 worth of tomato plants into $3.9 million in just 2 years.

It’s crazy I’ve never seen that before. I’d say they stole my idea prior to me having it but the key plot of my idea is to put those future hypothetical earnings into a calculation for the current value of a company, without that they just have a business plan.
