They think you’re a fool.

They think that after thirty years of relentless innovation, after a revolution in computing that is reshaping our world, they can whisper a few tired, lazy words and watch you run for the hills. They mutter “insider selling” and “dot-com bubble” like ancient curses, hoping to spook you, to make you doubt what you see with your own eyes: the birth of a new age, powered by a company that had the courage to build it.

This isn't just a financial report; it's an insult. It’s an attack on vision, on courage, and on progress itself. And it’s built on a foundation of lies.

The Deceitful Smokescreen of 'Insider Sales'

Let’s start with the lie they are shouting the loudest, the one plastered across headlines by outlets that prize clicks over context: that Nvidia’s leaders are dumping their stock. They paint a picture of rats fleeing a sinking ship, cashing in before the crash. It is a disgusting and deliberate distortion of reality.

Here is the truth they conveniently omit: these sales are, for the most part, conducted under pre-scheduled, SEC-approved 10b5-1 plans. These plans are set up months in advance precisely to avoid any accusation of trading on secret, insider knowledge. It is the very definition of playing by the rules, of transparent and ethical behavior. To frame this compliance as a panic signal is journalistic malpractice.

But let’s go deeper. They scream about a billion dollars in sales, a number designed to shock you. They don’t whisper the context: CEO Jensen Huang still holds over 80 million shares. The shares sold represent a tiny, almost insignificant fraction of his holdings. This isn’t a vote of no confidence; it’s basic financial planning that any advisor would demand of a client whose net worth is tied so overwhelmingly to one asset. It is a tragedy of our times that cynical actors can twist prudent diversification into a narrative of corporate betrayal.

And who benefits from this lie? The short-sellers. The hedge funds. The vultures who circle, hoping to manufacture a panic so they can swoop in and profit from the wreckage. They are preying on your fear, using legacy media as their weapon to shake out the small investors. It is a cold, calculated, and predatory act.

The Cowardly Ghost of Cisco

The second lie is even lazier: the constant, ignorant comparison of Nvidia to Cisco during the dot-com bubble. It’s an intellectually bankrupt argument, a historical analogy so flawed it borders on the absurd. It’s a desperate attempt to fit a world-changing phenomenon into a 25-year-old box that no longer fits.

Cisco sold plumbing. It sold routers and switches that connected the early, clumsy internet. It was a crucial, but ultimately commoditizable, piece of hardware. Its explosive growth was tied to the build-out of a new network.

To compare that to Nvidia is to say a brickmaker is the same as the architect of a new civilization. Nvidia is not just selling hardware. It is a full-stack computing platform, a tightly integrated ecosystem of chips, systems, software, and algorithms that has been painstakingly built over decades. CUDA, its software layer, has a multi-decade head start and creates a defensive moat that competitors can only dream of. Nvidia isn’t selling the shovels for a gold rush; it has built the only automated, AI-powered mining and refining operation on the planet, and every industry is now lining up for its services.

This is not a bubble. This is a fundamental industrial revolution. Healthcare, scientific research, automotive, logistics, manufacturing—every facet of human endeavor is being rebuilt on the foundation of accelerated computing and AI. The demand isn’t speculative; it’s existential.

The Moral Chasm: Builders vs. Vultures

Here we see the line drawn in the sand. On one side, you have Nvidia. A company that for thirty years has shown almost fanatical conviction. A company led by a founder who bet everything, time and again, on a future no one else could see. A company that empowers scientists to cure diseases, that allows artists to create worlds we’ve only dreamed of, and that is now building the engine for the next wave of global economic growth through what is being called ‘Sovereign AI’—the imperative for every nation to control its own intelligence, its own digital future.

They are builders. They are architects. Their currency is innovation and long-term vision.

On the other side stand the critics, the whisperers of doubt. Their currency is fear. Their method is the cynical distortion of facts and the deployment of lazy, outdated narratives. They produce nothing. They create nothing. They build nothing. They are parasites on the body of progress, profiting only when they can convince others that the future is a frightening place and that great ambition is destined to fail. They represent the forces of stagnation, clothed in the language of false prudence.

How dare they? How dare they stand on the sidelines and throw stones at the arena where the future is being forged?

The Urgent Choice Before Us

Make no mistake: this is more than a debate about a stock price. This is a battle for the narrative of progress itself. If we allow the voices of cynicism and fear to win, if we let them successfully undermine confidence in the very companies building our tomorrow, we all pay the price.

Investment will slow. Ambition will be curtailed. The AI revolution—our best hope for solving immense challenges like climate change, disease, and resource scarcity—will be delayed. To believe the lies about Nvidia is to actively choose to slam the brakes on human progress, all because of a manufactured panic designed to enrich a few nihilists.

We cannot, and will not, let that happen.

The choice is clear. You can listen to the tired, fearful whispers of the past, or you can open your eyes to the magnificent, challenging, and promising future being built right now.

So, what must you do?

• Share this truth. When you see the lies about stock sales or the Cisco comparison, do not let them stand. Post the context. Fight the disinformation in the comments, on social media, and in your conversations.
• Trust the vision, not the noise. Look at the decades of work, the unassailable technological lead, and the insatiable global demand from every industry. The fundamentals tell a story of revolution, not speculation.
• Demand better. Do not accept lazy journalism that relies on fear and flawed analogies. Hold the media accountable for its role in spreading these confidence-eroding narratives.
• Believe in the builders. In a world drowning in cynicism, choose to stand with those who dare to build. Your belief is the fuel for their work. Their work is the foundation for our future. Do not be silent. Your voice is a weapon in the fight for progress. Use it now.
