I'm interested in this O(nlogn) argument, can you elaborate on it, or point to a source that does?

  Between vesting grants of tokens at discounted prices, salaries in tokens, and yield farming earnings, the quantity of your tokens increase over time and the any rally in prices amplifies your earnings by orders of magnitude. Linear is O(n) so better than linear is closer to O(nlogn) and less than exponential O(n^2). Vesting in the crypto space quite frequently is measured in months instead of years. Just industry standard because the lifecycle is so much faster, so it would be hard/impossible to attract talent with longer vesting periods. 3-6 months being common, 9-12 months being tolerable and standard, 18-36 months being the longest I've ever seen. This is just in comparison to the crypto speculators, who have to put up capital and hope to sell at higher prices. Linear risk model for them. Not sure what a source would look like. It would require someone doing an analysis of many projects. Just can't think of a person that would care enough to do such an analysis, yet. Maybe a recruiter? There's always the option to just lead with the assumption that this post is grounded in an existing reality, a lot of people earn in crypto and that would inherently have a different risk profile than investing their own money. Significant overlapping similarities to buying a company's shares versus earning a company's stock's.
