This aligns with the post's stance that the market has already favored $NBIS over $IREN, supporting the view that Nebius's superior positioning validates the original bullish investment thesis rather than making it futile. > > "I don't think it's either $NBIS or $IREN But the market already voted which one was the better investment. That said. I do think they'll do well, just not as well as $NBIS ." ### Post #2 by @TheTechInvest > **Author:** The Tech Investor ([@TheTechInvest](https://x.com/TheTechInvest)) > **Metrics:** 193 likes · 14 retweets · 11 comments · 26.8K views > **Posted:** 2026-08-15T10:58:36+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/TheTechInvest/status/2088581114017284114](https://x.com/TheTechInvest/status/2088581114017284114) > **Visual Note:** A post from X account "The Tech Investor" (@TheT...) dated 7/31/26 addresses "Subs" (Subscribers), discussing $GLXY and $BTDR as attractive neoclouds for H2 2026, with the author personally favoring $BTDR due to its nearly 3GW capacity and international presence.

You will greatly regret being under positioned. Even a 100% position concentrated in one of the two I mentioned is not enough. It is time to go into leverage. I have done so myself.
