Not all companies do that though. $GOOG has no voting rights nor dividends yet is worth more than $2100. It does literally nothing as far as I can tell, making it useless compared to even something like bitcoin. Despite this, you could have made a lot of money by just buying the stock years ago and selling it now.
>You can hold it and still make a real profit
That would take 33 years to happen with the stock that currently has the highest yield assuming that yield is constant over those 33 years which is probably a bad assumption. Who wants to get a profit 33 years in the future? If I could not resell it, it would be worthless to me.
With cryptocurrency you can also yield farm to make some money while you are just holding by essentially loaning them and having interest paid to you.
