James Check, the lead analyst for Glassnode, has noted that tech giant Nvidia has now surpassed Bitcoin in terms of search interest. , the chip maker managed to top Microsoft by market capitalization last week, becoming the most valuable company in the world for the first time.
Many have compared Nvidia's headline-grabbing rise to that of computer giant Cisco. In March 2000, Cisco briefly topped Microsoft to become the world's most valuable company. The internet equipment maker was riding high during the dot-com boom, with its market cap surpassing $575 billion. For comparison, the market cap of Cisco currently stands at only $190 billion, which is less than half of its peak value 24 years ago.
