In recent days, Fintech Week, Tom Lee held another presentation in Tokyo. After listening, I had only one feeling: it's a pity if this guy doesn't go into pyramid schemes.

Let me simply outline the key points for you, and see how big this pie is drawn:

1️⃣ 'Alchemy' or 'Pie-in-the-sky'? Alchemy of 5% shocked the audience.

Tom Lee was on site waving his PPT, shouting 'Alchemy of 5%'. Listening to this name, one might think he is concocting elixirs.

His logic is very simple: stake all the ETH and earn 5% returns every year for free. Brother Tom, with red eyes, told everyone that this 5% translates to a cash flow of 200 million dollars under large-scale assets!

  • To translate: 'As long as you give me money to buy ETH, I can live well just by lying down and collecting rent. As for whether the coin price goes up or down? That's your business; my 5% is stable anyway.'

2️⃣ Sky-high price: ETH target price $22,000!

If $3,500 is an appetizer, then Brother Tom's $12,000 - $22,000 is definitely a 'full banquet' that makes the audience gasp in shock.

He pulled out a so-called mysterious algorithm based on historical BTC ratios, deducing that ETH has now fallen into a 'value depression.'

  • Subtext: 'Don't ask why, just ask historical experience. Although I said the same last year and the year before, what if I’m right this time? As long as I shout loud enough, there will always be a fool who believes.'

3️⃣ BMNR: ETH's 'Beta amplifier' (or harvester?)

Tom vigorously promotes his BMNR, calling it the 'super amplifier' of ETH.

  • Wall Street jargon: 'Stock prices are linked to ETH, staking returns flow back, and capital operations increase efficiency.'

  • Plain language: 'This is just a leveraged Ethereum purchasing company. If ETH goes up, we fly with it; if ETH goes down... uh, we’ll issue more bonds to continue buying. After all, we are like MSTR, always playing the 'never give up' card.'

4️⃣ Cross-industry hype: MrBeast wants to become a bank? Is gold trash?

In order to prove he is keeping up with the trend, Brother Tom even brought up MrBeast to make a statement, predicting that internet celebrities are the future of banks. He also didn't forget to take a jab at gold, saying that gold has been losing money for half a century.

  • Logical genius: In his eyes, buying gold is not as good as buying Ethereum, and buying Ethereum is not as good as buying his BMNR. The smoothness of this logic is such that even passing stray cats in Tokyo would want to open an account after hearing it.

5️⃣ Top-notch Versailles: Buying billions of dollars a day?

The most exciting part is when he says he will 'keep buying', with a scale potentially reaching 'billions of dollars a day'.

The people in the audience are calculating their salaries, while Brother Tom is calculating the checks in his dreams. This sense of 'I have money, I really have money, and I want to bring you all to get rich together' directly pushed the atmosphere to a climax of magical realism.

🤡 Summary:

Tom Lee is still the familiar Tom Lee: logically coherent, full of passion, with price targets always in the clouds. Is he a financial genius or a Wall Street clown? It depends on whether you bought his stocks or are just sitting in the audience watching him perform. After all, in a place like Web3, as long as you are not embarrassed, the embarrassed ones are the bears.

Do you dare to follow Tom Lee's dream of $22,000? Or do you think this is just another clever 'air game'?
