AI Is Resurrecting This Crypto Sector

For years, Nvidia was dismissed as a gaming company.

It made computer chips to help teenagers play video games with realistic graphics – and that was it. No one thought it would change the world.

What most people missed was what was hiding inside those gaming chips.

Nvidia wasn’t just making graphics processors. It was perfecting something far more important: Parallelism.

Parallelism is the ability to run thousands of calculations at the same time. In the PC-gaming era of the 2000s, that ability made graphics look smoother and more realistic. But outside of gaming, there was little demand for it.

Then artificial intelligence (AI) arrived…

AI models require billions of calculations happening at once across massive datasets. Parallelism lets those operations run simultaneously, making AI fast and affordable. Without it, modern AI would be too slow and costly to scale.

Suddenly, Nvidia’s “gaming chips” were in demand.

Almost overnight, the company went from selling GPUs to gamers… to supplying the “brains” behind the most advanced AI models on Earth.

But this shift didn’t come as a surprise to everyone.

Years before Wall Street caught on, Daily editor Teeka Tiwari identified AI as a defining trend of our generation.

In December 2015, he urged subscribers to buy Nvidia, writing it was “poised to become the next tech giant because of its pioneering work in artificial intelligence.”

At the time Teeka wrote that report, Nvidia traded for a split-adjusted price of about $0.80 a share. Since then, the stock has climbed as much as 25,851%.

Today, Nvidia is the world’s most valuable company, with a market cap north of $4.5 trillion – and the dominant force powering the global AI boom.

This is how some of the biggest fortunes in tech investing are made – not by inventing something new… but by discovering a much bigger use case hiding in plain sight.

We’ve seen this pattern repeat with some of the most successful companies in tech:

• YouTube didn’t start as a media empire. It began as a video dating site. That idea failed spectacularly. But users kept uploading videos anyway, and YouTube quietly transformed into the most powerful video platform in history.

• PayPal wasn’t built to dominate digital commerce. It started as a way to transfer money between Palm Pilots. That idea went nowhere. But when online merchants needed fast, trusted payments, PayPal evolved into the backbone of e-commerce.

• Twitter was originally a simple short message service (SMS)-style status app. Then journalists, politicians, and world leaders adopted it. And it became the world’s real-time newswire, reshaping media and politics in the process.

Each story followed the same arc. They started with a small, narrow use case that was replaced by something vastly bigger.

I’m sharing this bit of history because we’re watching that same transformation happen again, right now, in an industry almost no one expected…
