Look for the next tech gold rush?

Abstract

During gold rush periods, early adopters can make abnormal returns on investment with minimal effort or qualifications. Technological advances can create such situations, which can be stumbled upon without trying. It might be worthwhile to remain alert for potential tech-related gold rushes. For example, domain names and Bitcoin were major gold rushes that were available to anyone. Moreover, new fields can be identified. Perhaps, the first step is to stay attentive because gold rushes do occur from time to time, and finding them is not prohibitively difficult. – AI-generated abstract.
