The AI hype train is currently making GPUs more expensive than a small island, and everyone's panic-buying components like it's Black Friday at Micro Center. But here's the beautiful irony: once the AI bubble inevitably pops (and it will, just like crypto mining did), all those enterprise-grade GPUs are gonna flood the secondhand market faster than a memory leak crashes your production server.

The real galaxy brain move? Wait it out. Let the early adopters pay the "I need to train my LLM NOW" tax. Then swoop in when everyone's selling their RTX 4090s for pennies on the dollar. Your kids will inherit a gaming rig that could've rendered the entire Pixar catalog in real-time, all because you had the patience to wait for the hype cycle to complete.

Same story, different bubble. Crypto miners drove up prices, bubble popped, GPU prices normalized. Now AI is doing the exact same dance. History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme—especially in tech.
