Well yeah, starting a business is literally the riskiest thing you can do with a wad of cash. Much riskier than cryptocurrencies, riskier than most casinos. Of course it's going to have higher potential upside, but 75% of companies go completely broke within their first 15 years.

You’d also find that most public companies don’t increase their earnings growth substantially over extended periods of time, causing one to lose value correspondingly.
