I would rather we have an alternative where you can buy Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX, etc stock but it has a few strict requirements:

* Investors are committing to keeping their money over a 10 year period, and you pay them dividends

* At the end of the 10 years you can withdraw it all, or keep your stock but withdraw the dividends, or keep your stock and reinvest the dividends for the next 10 years.

* Companies cannot be on any other type of "stock market"

* Companies need to be identified as producing something of significant value, like SpaceX's rockets would qualify.

* It can be part of anyone's 401k since these companies would be scrutinized.

Ideally a social media only company would NEVER qualify. I think the stock market is too happy to buy and sell, when some of these companies are a long term investment that has slowly paid off in ways most people cannot fathom or comprehend including healthcare discoveries.
