Honest question: did the crypto hype cycles “lay the foundation for something bigger”? I suppose there is an argument to be made that it pushed Nvidia to ramp up GPU production and lean into the compute market rather than gaming. Maybe gave the world some extra experience with hosting large GPU farms that are needed for AI training. I don’t think I’m sold on either of those, but would be curious to see others discussion.
