    Unfortunately, as Keynes noted: “Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”

    And my god, they’re committed to irrationality right now.

          And the suckers w/o means to participate can live and die for generations knowing only disadvantages of it.

          But participated or not, their lives will still get even more rounded one the system collapses.

          Your Return of Investment can be someone else’s investment.

      Nvidia has to be the most obvious thing to short in this whole mess, except for that quote. If the AI bubble popped tomorrow, you’ll make a lot of money. If it pops in a year, you may lose it all before then.
