This is true but confuses people because obviously miners must commit capita=
l to mining before any block space can exist to have value. The reason for t=
he misunderstanding is that miners don=E2=80=99t simply respond, they antici=
pate. All production, and therefore capital investment, is the result of ant=
icipation of future returns, not an attempt to chase past returns.
The first miner anticipated that the then-worthless =E2=80=9Ctokens=E2=80=9D=
he was mining would have a future value. Turns out he was right. Others hav=
e been wrong, which is the nature of betting on future prices. But if nobody=
does it, there are no products.
