This reply (and several others) is focusing on one part of the comment and ignoring the overall point.
The question is: if companies are no longer giving dividends, no longer giving voting rights, and you get nothing if it goes to zero, then what, intrinsically, is the value of a stock tied to? Is it something other than "stock will go up so someone will buy it at a higher price"? How does it differ from, say, Bitcoin?
