You don’t invest in stock. You invest in companies. Companies are expected to grow over time. A share does nothing. It’s a percentage.
When you invest in stocks it is sort of like giving a loan to a corporation so that they can spend your money on growth, to create more profits, which allows them to become more valuable. That is why stocks are expected to continually grow in value over time.
Bitcoin might be many things, like a store of value, transaction network, etc., but it is not really a long term investment vehicle except maybe as an inflation hedge.
