The people who DID figure it out weren't doing 'nothing' and obviously 'anyone' couldn't do it. Twenty years from now people will look back at the thing that seems easy in hindsight, the thing you aren't doing now for whatever reason. Figure out what that thing is, figure out how to make money at it and in the future they will tell you how easy you had it back in the day. Fail to figure it out and your answer to the same question about why you didn't will be the same as it is now.
At home 3D printing? A new app to monetize 'freeloader traffic', A whole new product nobody knew they needed until now? A product that was tried and failed but now has the timing to be a huge success? What is that 'easy' thing people will talk about in hindsight ten or twenty years from now.... Figure it out yourself or plan to be man enough to give credit to those who did when the time comes. ;)
