But then the follow-on to this, supposing one thinks that 3d body imaging is going to be big—which I think is not an unreasonable guess—is, how does one buy financial exposure to this technology?
Research—come on, you dont expect me to do all the digging for you? when you want to invest, learn the industry both linearly and laterally.
What does it take to scan a body?
what will all companies that do it need?
who are the current industry leaders?
what tech are they using? who makes it?
you could spend weeks/months researching to get the right answers.
Sorry, in my head I somehow read the original post as “where are slots I can put money in to participate in a gold rush”, where the actual text is clearly more broad than that.
EDIT: Although most often buying into a technology like this involves buying equity in companies, which is not normally a good way to get in on a high-velocity gold rush—if you’re a normal investor you can’t buy into them until they go public, which is normally well-past the true “gold rush” stage. (This is less true if you’re an accredited investor but it substitutes different problems.)
Things like bitcoin and domain names, the original examples, don’t involve buying equities at all, but were other asset classes entirely, and so didn’t have the same issue.
