Unless you predicted AI and Crypto then it was just really good, not 100x. It 20x from 2005-2020 but ~500x from 2005-2025
And if you truly did predict that Nvidia would own those markets and those markets would be massive, you could have also bought Amazon, Google or heck even Bitcoin. Anything you touched in tech really would have made you a millionaire really.
Survivors bias though. It's hard to name all the companies that failed in the dot com bust, but even among the ones that made it through, because they're not around any more, they're harder to remember than the winners. But MCI, Palm, RIM, Nortel, Compaq, Pets.com, Webvan all failed and went to zero. There's an uncountable number of ICOs and NFTs that ended up nowhere. SVB isn't exactly an tech stock but they were strongly connected to it and they failed.
It is interesting to think about crypto as a stairstep that Nvidia used to get to its current position in AI. It wasn't games > ai, but games > crypto > ai.
