It's effectively the same.

It's only income if you sell, at which point it's no longer passive, right? Otherwise it's unrealized gains and not income.

Setting up a passive income by regularly selling stocks clearly qualifies. Unrealized gains are more questionable, but you don’t have to realize gains from other forms of passive income like rental income either.

It's really not. Let's say, thanks to your passive investment growth, you can spend 3% of your capital every year and never run out

This means $100/mo of recurring, passive income would take $40K in the bank to replace.

Even a small passive income is worth huge amounts.
