Whoever owns the early BTC deserves a Nobel Prize in delayed gratification. - Elon Musk
What do you think? I believe honestly it does make sense, and he has a point as well. Just imagine the situation during Bitcoin creation; there was just zero adaptation. Most people don't trust it and criticise it. But only a few people mined or bought Bitcoin in such a situation. There wasn't much social media to reach more people; the condition was really complicated if you compare it to now. I really appreciate their patience and convictions for Bitcoin. If there were any categories for financial patience and conviction, then early Bitcoin holders should get the Nobel Prize.
Do you believe something should happen like this, or are Bitcoin holders already rewarded due to the current Bitcoin price?
Bitcoin had already given the prize to the miners for setting up the mining industry making the whole ecosystem successful. Everything had been designed by Satoshi where the prize would be rewarded to miners for doing an excellent job, I don't really see any individual need for rewarding them, yes, I know they stayed patient, but it wasn't for free.
To me, if rewards should be given, it should be given to every holders of Bitcoin at the moment for appreciation, no holder should be discriminated, every holders old or new keeps it going.
