Jensen Huang: Nvidia is an "only in America" story built on predictable rules

Jensen Huang says Nvidia is "genuinely an only in America story" — a chain of extremely low-probability events that could only survive where nothing cuts it midway.

Key points:

Nvidia spent a decade building for a market that didn't exist yet; that decade is the whole company, and such long bets only make sense where the rules stay predictable.
Talent, capital, and energy exist in dozens of countries; America's edge is the institutional layer — understandable, dependable laws — that lets a ten-year bet become a plan.
"In most of the world, what ends a company is a decision made by someone the founder will never meet."
He equates the entrepreneurial spirit with the immigrant spirit: both begin with a departure with no return path; his parents' desperation to secure a living drove the same engine he used to build Nvidia.
"I am the embodiment of the American dream."
