You miss out on one thing: "early stakers" don't stake, you get bitcoin, and you sell bitcoin when a price is right. There are very few that keep it for years.

It is just like stock market. There might be "early stakers" that bought Apple stock in 1980 and kept it till today, but vast majority just traded it.
- mmcnl 5y agoIt is not like the stock market. Shares are a share of a company, that (hopefully) produces something of actual value. You can calculate earning per share. Companies pay dividend. It means you actually own something. What does it mean to own a bitcoin? What is the "EPS" for a bitcoin? It doesn't exist. You might as well put a number on Monopoly paper money and call it a new currency.
- krzyk 5y agoThere are fundamental investors and technical analysis ones. The first care about company and dividends. The later care about the stock behavior. (there are also casino players). Bitcoin doesn't have the first but has the rest.
