Avory - Markets and Investing

In this episode of Around the Desk, Sean Emory sits down with three investors who have been closely following IREN — the Bitcoin miner now pivoting toward high-performance computing (HPC).

We dig into the key questions:
• Can a miner really become an AI infrastructure player?
• What’s happening on the ground with grid capacity, permitting, and capex?
• Are they executing or just announcing?

Guests Kama, Frans, and Dulce join anonymously (X-style) to break down their views — from land records and site visits to financial modeling and risk.

This is a technical, high-conviction conversation for anyone trying to understand the shift from Bitcoin mining to AI compute infrastructure.
