I realize that #TomLee 's truly impressive point is —

It's not about how accurate his predictions are,
but about how “he's still at the table no matter how he loses.”
This guy:
Lost hundreds of millions of dollars buying ETH,
Daily face-planting macro predictions,
Being mocked for old news in both bull and bear markets,
But what's the result?
👉 Financial media still invites him on shows every day,
👉 Wall Street doesn't question his “right to speak,”
👉 Influence, discourse power, and exposure remain strong.
Think about it from a different perspective:
If this were a native VC in the crypto world:
Lost hundreds of millions,
Made continuous misjudgments,
What would happen?
Not just getting slammed out of the scene,
At the very least, he would be labeled:
“Doesn't understand macro / Already out of the game / Eliminated by the times.”
Behind this is actually a very cruel difference 👇
US stock funds vs. native crypto funds
In the US stock system, one thing is assumed:
Long-term participants are allowed to make mistakes.
As long as you:
Are logically consistent,
Have clear positions,
Can continuously output opinions,
Losing money ≠ being eliminated.
But in the crypto world, many times it's:
One wrong judgment, and you’re socially dead.
Interestingly —
In Tom Lee's interview last night, it was still the same Tom Lee.
He said:
Still optimistic about #BTC breaking $100,000 by the end of the year,
And hitting a new all-time high in January next year,
Unchanged in tone, no apologies, no pandering to emotions.
So if you look back now, you'll realize:
Tom Lee's core advantage has never been “prediction accuracy,”
but:
👉 He is someone allowed by mainstream capital systems to sit at the table long-term.
And this,
May be the easiest, yet most overlooked, and most important lesson for ordinary investors.
