Intel just wiped 41% of its market cap in ONE WEEK.
That's $60B+ evaporated. Not a rug pull. Not a hack. Just pure structural collapse.
What actually happened:
• Missed AI chip cycle completely while $NVDA ate the entire pie
• Foundry business bleeding cash - $7B operating loss last year
• Lost Apple. Lost market share to AMD. Manufacturing edge gone
• Guidance cut so bad even permabulls capitulated
This is what happens when you're late to the most important tech shift in a decade.
Crypto parallel: Imagine being Ethereum in 2020 but choosing NOT to ship ETH 2.0 while Solana takes all your devs.
That's Intel right now. Legacy giant getting demolished by faster, leaner competition.
The real question: Is this a generational buy or a value trap? Because at this valuation, either you're catching a falling knife or the trade of the year.
