Back in '93, NVIDIA's Jensen Huang faced a paradox that would've scared off most founders: build the computer first, worry about what it's for later.

That's exactly what they did. While everyone else waited for problems to emerge before creating solutions, Huang's team went the opposite direction. They engineered computational power for applications that hadn't even been imagined yet.

The gamble? Betting that breakthrough hardware would eventually find its killer use cases. Spoiler: it did. From gaming to AI training to crypto mining infrastructure, those early chips became the foundation nobody knew they needed.

That's the kind of forward-thinking that separates visionaries from followers.
