I've been pondering lately on whether I should replace the keyboard on my laptop, which got ruined by accidentally pouring water on it, forcing me to use an external USB keyboard, or wait for the bull market to really kick the altcoin season into gear and buy myself a new laptop.

I've never owned a MacBook, and to be honest, after using an iPhone for almost a year, I would give an Apple laptop a try, although a new one is kind of pricey... But let's say the bull market will be overrewarding, and spending $1,500 on a laptop won't be such a hustle...

But, then I read this, just a few hours ago:

Nvidia, $NVDA, announces Project Digits personal computer at $3000, that is approximately 1,000 times more powerful than the average laptop.

The device is powered by an Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which houses separate, linked components on a single chip to reduce the time it takes to move data between them.

The superchip features an Nvidia Blackwell graphics card and an Nvidia Grace processor, packaged with 128 gigabytes of memory and 4 terabytes of SSD storage.

I'm using my laptop 99.99% of the time as a desktop, which makes the idea of buying such a PC from NVIDIA not a bad idea, considering that its speed is insane and the price is "just double" the one of a MacBook.

Again, I would only consider doing that if the bull market will be overrewarding. Now... Some of you who still read my posts are probably thinking: what the hell is this guy trying to say, cuz the 250 words I read thus far have nothing to do with the title.

Well, the idea from which I got to wrap all this shit up is that very few are realizing right now the extent of the revolution that our society is undergoing thanks to technology. NVIDIA is doing insanely well on the stock market, and there's a reason for that.

Almost every successful company nowadays is a technology company, if not a software one. Cars nowadays have ten times more technology in them than the one that I drive. You literally have to manually deactivate the data flow that a vehicle is exporting on a daily basis to the producer.

By 2027, we will probably have a kill switch on any new car that goes out the factory, so that we can fight terrorism, of course, and the linear progress line of humanity that some are still watching might not make much more sense anymore.

I was discussing retirement as well, a few days ago, with a couple of mates, and my take is that by the time I hit retirement age, which is something like 30 years from now, the concept of pension, or retirement money, won't make any more sense. Just look at the crypto casino.

Crypto has taught me a lot about money, how easy it should be to build insane amounts of wealth, and how natural it should be to start from scratch. I've started from scratch many times during my life thus far, but it has never been easier than it was since I got into crypto.

If you've stuck with me thus far, then you should know that I am not doing anything for now in regards to the laptop, but if the bull market gets really crazy, I'm buying the NVIDIA PC. Feels like it's ahead of its time, and by the pace technology is evolving, it will take a good time for this thing to get outdated.

Have a great Tuesday and see you all next time.

Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
