That is impressive but with all fairness to those companies reaching one trillion dollars is way easier now than what it was decades ago, after all a great deal of money was printed last year and this has been true during the last decade as well.

I think a more fair way to compare assets is if we use the average yearly rate of growth of each asset, if bitcoin still comes up as the first place in that kind of graphic then this will be a better way to measure the exceptional growth of bitcoin over other assets.

The huge market cap is one of the disadvantages now. Many of the noobs are choosing to invest in newer shitcoins with smaller market cap, because they believe that Bitcoin is already having a market cap of close to $1 trillion and therefore any appreciation in the prices will be more muted. The sort of returns that the early investors received from Bitcoin can't be expected by the recent investors. And that is true with any asset, and not just Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

It is a disadvantage but at the end of the day they are the ones that are going to suffer from it and not us, institutional investors for the most part understand this which is why they invest in bitcoin only, retail investors on the other hand see the market cap and the price of bitcoin and while they know they can still get profits they get seduced by the promises of altcoins.

We know that a few of them will actually make more money but the vast majority are going to lose everything they have in the process and for some reason blame bitcoin in the process, and while this is sad they were the ones to take such decision and as such they need to learn to live with the consequences of their actions.
