Yeah, just like the last Dot com bubble when it bursted some traditional companies didn't follow, e.g those components of Berkshire Hathaway.

My guess is AAPL, AMZN, INTC, GOOG, MSFT should all be pretty safe. Can't be said for Snap, FB, NFLX, TSLA, NVDA. I would love to see TSLA succeed though but it has lots of debts.

Why NVDA is not safe? They are pure hardware, that the former 4 need all the time.

I'm guessing the argument is that some significant portion of the demand for NVDA parts is due to crypto mining (I don't know how significant). If you imagine that demand dying down then NVDA doesn't look as good I suppose. Their products are still good though and there was plenty of demand for them before crypto mining and speculation became a factor.

The current crypto mining mania certainly contributed much to NVDA bottom line.
