BlockBeats news, December 26, Tom Lee today forwarded an article expressing optimistic expectations for the cryptocurrency market in 2026, which drew sarcastic criticism from some community members.
One member commented, ‘These words of yours do no good for what little credibility you have left.’ Tom Lee cleverly retorted, ‘To earn the respect of your portfolio and your kindergarten classmates, please subscribe to FS Insight’s premium service.’
Another community member stated, ‘First you said Ethereum’s target price is $12,000, then you said it’s $7,000. Your evidence is completely unreliable. Ethereum’s price likely won’t even exceed $3,000; you should take a good look at yourself.’ Tom Lee seemed somewhat ‘triggered’ by this, firing back at the user by calling him a ‘clown.’
Tom Lee’s bullish statements are not the first to face criticism. In September this year, Andrew Kang, founder of crypto venture capital firm Mechanism Capital, bluntly stated that Tom Lee’s theories on ETH were ‘like those of an idiot.’ Additionally, analysts from Tom Lee’s fund recently turned significantly bearish on next year, contradicting his own views. This has also led to widespread criticism against him lately.
