| > “I wouldn’t pick up $20 if there was $100 on the ground!” Most people would pick up both. No, it’s more like there’s a massive pile of both $20s and $100s on the ground. You wouldn’t waste time running between the two, you’d focus on the $100s |

| > Most people would pick up both. if you're within reach of both, then it's not a choice, and there's no opportunity cost in picking just one - you'd be taking both. If not within reach of both but just one, and you picking one up means someone else might pick up the other, then which would you choose? The other is then by definition, the opportunity cost. |

| You’re standing on a traffic island in the middle of a busy road. The lights change allowing you to cross. On one side there is a $20 note, on the other there is a $100 note. Which side do you go to first? |

| The problem is that Nvidia cannot make infinite amounts of chips so they actually can't pick up both. |

| If you were carrying heavy shopping in both arms would you stop to pick up a quarter? A dollar? |
