As they say, hindsight is 20/20. How many nascent technologies can you invest in today that will guarantee you wealth tomorrow? The answer is zero, because you cannot predict the future. There were no guarantees for the early BTC holders either. Even those people have churned somewhat with market cycles. We are on the cusp of it no longer being an experiment. Now what you have, are large institutions looking to play in the crypto space. The early adopters never had that kind of intel. Will the supply be able to meet future demand? It certainly doesn't look that way. Maybe it won't until we start counting our BTC in Satoshis.
