It might _still_ be beneficial to get in, but the dramatic upside that
existed before crypto found its stride is, IMO, done. I don't have the
"intestinal fortitude" to time the bubble burst window and get out.

I think Nvidia's fortunes will end in an equally dramatic, and perhaps

nearly insane, IMO.*

I've never understood Nvidia's reluctance to open-source their
drivers. Especially since increasingly their core users --not gamers,
but crypto & AI bros-- aren't Windows based. Even the much-ballyhoo'd
"we've open sourced a few drivers" from a few years ago was largely
smoke and mirrors. Is so much of Nvidia's functionality built into
their drivers that they dare not release the code?

Who knows. My bet is they're either trying to hold onto "security
through obfuscation" or are being forced to by a contract..
