      @@AK-ox3mv it fascinates me how this different networks or if I assume this companies of alphabet and others have an interconnected of datas that they trade , and sometimes people says and experience that when they just chat or even said it in person about what are they going to buy , most of the time the product will be sugggested on them via ads on this social flatforms and I have watched a lot of documentaries how this “data” is the new oil, and neuro marketting

      Its just kinda terrifying that you are being survey 24/7

      Data is what makes this platform profitable and its also about the company of TESLA they are not just selling cars but also data for their autonomous software

      Im so sorry if I can’t logically explain my thoughts If I have a time to explain this to you I will but I suggest you watch CNBC, VOX, BUSINESS INSIDER, TED TALK, TED-ED they cover a lot about this topic

    It is by far one of the most interesting, groundbreaking, and astonishing speech/presentation on Ted I’ve ever watched.
    The storytelling and facts about Sun I get to know is compelling. The footage of Sun made me feel goosebumps. I wasn’t expecting to watch that and it literally shocked me through ecstasy.
    Overall this is the example of what impact a simple speech can make.
    Really The greatest time to be alive can’t wait to know about the new discovery till December 2024.

    I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated.
