Nvidia in the Valley
> I [nvidia CEO] don’t think we could have seen it [massive effect of Ethereum merge on bottom line]. I don’t think I would’ve done anything different, but what I did learn from previous examples is that when it finally happens to you, just take the hard medicine and get it behind you…We’ve had two bad quarters and two bad quarters in the context of a company, it’s frustrating for all the investors, it’s difficult on all the employees.<p>This is not confidence inspiring. It was obvious that the Etherum merge would affect the bottom line in a big way. Why this professed ignorance? Does it have to do with the fact that to admit that it was visible a mile away would have been to admit the deep reliance the company had come to have on the short-term Ethereum mining boom?
