That you could buy tesla stock 10 years ago for 10 usd and it is worth 40 times today at 400 usd. But 10 years ago you could buy a pizza for 10k btc and today

That you could buy tesla stock 10 years ago for 10 usd and it is worth 40 times today at 400 usd. But 10 years ago you could buy a pizza for 10k btc and today that is equal to gdp of a small country. Does this not seem completely upside down? What I want to say is looking at all this numbers without perspective makes no sense...

Just to use the actual values, Telsa IPO was $17USD in 2010 Its closer to $715USD right now, after a 5:1 split last year, so $17->$3575 in 10 years. It has been traded on the public markets since. 10 years ago you could not buy a pizza for 10k btc. Laszlo choose to trade 10k BTC for a pizza, bootstrapping a value exchange on an experimental p2p software network. It was an adhoc tx, not done on a public market (which did not exist at the time). I don't think it upside down. Assets can gain value over time, especially when you have inflation of the monetary base feeding into these assets, and a growing audience participating. Makes sense!
