Whether an investment in a company outpaces bitcoin itself is meaningless, in my opinion. It's the wrong framing.
We invest in securities, or anything honestly, to get returns in two major categories. Income or Equity. Revenue Stream or Nest Egg.
Bitcoin, if it grows in purchasing power compared to the base monetary asset (currently USD), is Global Equity. It's part of a Nest Egg, and the only way to get any value out of it is to exchange it for goods and services, or in exchange for other assets which we then turn around and exchange for goods and services.
That's not what I'm looking for in an investment, personally. If that's all I want, then I'd just buy Bitcoin and be done with it. Securities, companies, investments, they need to provide the other type of return. They need to give me a revenue stream. If they can do that, and added with all of the other investments I have I can pay my expenses for the life I want to live, then I will never have to sell any Bitcoin to pay for that life. That's the dream, that's the goal.
Bitcoin itself provides no income stream, unless we are operating a miner. It's all second hand. But expenses never go away, because we have to pay for food, lodging, travel, utilities, entertainment, all the things. I don't want to have to sell Bitcoin, I want my investments to generate a revenue stream so I don't have to.
I'm buying investment securities on the wall street side right now to build that revenue stream. I'm paying USD for those securities, and getting the revenue stream in USD. When (not if) Bitcoin becomes the Medium of Exchange and Unit of Account, I will be willing to spend Bitcoin for those securities, either on the wall street side of things or tokens on the Bitcoin/blockchain side of things. But they're going to have to show me that they can pay me a revenue stream, otherwise they're not worth the investment.
I'm not really a 'maxi', because I haven't converted my entire stack of capital to Bitcoin. But I strongly support efforts to transition to a fully wealth based system for capital, information, innovation and trust. Bitcoin is the foundation for a wealth based capital system. The others are coming.
