So, IREN stock jumped 20% on one Microsoft deal? Give me a break. 500% year-to-date? That's not investing, that's gambling with extra steps. Everyone's suddenly an AI expert, throwing money at anything with the letters "A" and "I" in the same sentence.
This whole AI gold rush is starting to feel less like a technological revolution and more like a… well, remember the dot-com bubble? Yeah, feels a lot like that. Except this time, instead of Pets.com, we've got companies promising to solve world hunger with algorithms. As if.
Okay, let's dig into this IREN-Microsoft thing. $9.7 million over five years? That’s what they’re touting? That's chump change for Microsoft. They probably spend more on office coffee in a week.
IREN's co-CEO, Daniel Roberts, calls it "a major step forward." Translation: "Please buy our stock so we can cash out before this whole thing collapses." I'm not saying IREN is a bad company, per se, but this level of hype for a deal that’s a rounding error for Microsoft is insane. An under-the-radar AI stock is surging on news of a blockbuster deal with Microsoft
And what's with this "AI Cloud Service Provider" label? Last I checked, IREN was a crypto miner. Now they're suddenly experts in artificial intelligence? It's like your local pizza joint suddenly claiming to be a Michelin-star restaurant because they bought a new oven.
Speaking of crypto, remember when everyone was convinced Bitcoin was going to replace the dollar? Now these same companies are desperately trying to rebrand themselves as AI powerhouses. It’s a transparent attempt to stay relevant, offcourse.
"IREN has benefited recently from rising retail investor interest after being touted by hedge fund manager Eric Jackson…" Oh, great, another pump-and-dump scheme. Eric Jackson, the guy who "architected" the Opendoor rally? That ended well, didn't it? (Spoiler alert: it didn't).
Coinbase is even getting in on this action, holding shares of Circle. It's all one big incestuous web of crypto-AI hype.
IREN projects "$500 million in annual recurring cloud revenue by the end of Q1 2026." Right. And I'm going to win the lottery tomorrow. These projections are pulled straight out of someone’s ass. What happens when the AI bubble bursts? Do they go back to mining crypto? Or pivot to something even more ridiculous?
Then again, maybe I'm the crazy one here. Maybe IREN really is the next big thing. Maybe Microsoft sees something I don't. But honestly, I doubt it.
Look, I'm not saying AI is a scam. It has potential. But the current level of hype is unsustainable. We're setting ourselves up for another massive market correction when reality finally sets in.
The article mentions tech giants need energy and data centers for their AI projects. True. But there are plenty of other companies providing those services. What makes IREN so special? What's their secret sauce? The article doesn't say. Maybe there ain't one.
And let's be real: most of these AI applications are just glorified marketing tools. They're designed to sell you more stuff you don't need. They're not solving climate change or curing cancer. They're just making it easier for corporations to track your every move and manipulate your behavior.
