    This can be very bad for Nvidia, I think the stock price might fall in the coming weeks, it's way too high.

    It's only deal for one segment of laptop market. It's not about all laptops, not to mention all PCs including desktop PCs (I mean separate modules such system unit, monitor). This deal is also not going to impact Nvidia's server and HPC market share.
    Of course this deal is still good for AMD, because they will sell more GPU chips and game developers are going to have more pressure on them to optimize graphics for AMD's chips and drivers, but not overestimate that.

    Yes, this may be true, but it's still a bit of a blow to Nvidia. Also, I have read that Bitcoin is probably only a temporary hype.

    In the meantime bitcoin has pretty much doubled the cost of gamer-class GPUs.

    Wasn't aware of this, so high class GPU's have become even more expensive? I hope this Bitcoin bubble will soon burst.
