Tom Lee mocked for advising a 1-2% Bitcoin allocation in 2019. Bitcoin was $5,000. 😅

"You listen to me next time noob"

Thats why you put specialist like Tommy Lee there and not a news caster. He already knew back then.

bet they regret not going all in

I wonder what everyone will wish they had allocated 1–2% to today. The big $ETH comes to mind. 👀

Imagine 1% of your portfolio becoming 20%

Glad I did not listen… 😂 1-2% would be a regret of my life…

Tbh most crypto believers were!

I remember this interview so well. Such a typical, low IQ take from a person who could not even begin to grasp that not allocating anything to BTC was a far bigger risk. This is what you get with a journalism degree and conventional thought.

the conviction aged beautifully hindsight always makes early advice look obvious

happens every cycle. the people who were laughed at in 2019 for recommending a 1-2% Bitcoin position are now being asked to give keynotes. the mocking is almost a reliable contrarian signal at this point

The funniest part is 1–2% was considered the reckless allocation, until it wasn’t

The best opportunities usually have the fewest believers early on. 👀

He was right, they were wrong

His ETF is doing very well.

Meanwhile I'm out here getting mocked for a 1-2% allocation into a frog with a bow, and honestly the joke's earned.

The 1-2% was the smart part, not the timid part. A position that small can go to zero and you still sleep fine. It can also 10x and still move the whole portfolio. That is how you bet on something you cannot be sure about.

Tom Lee is clueless

Can you imagine how she would react hearing Saylor say to mortgage your house to buy bitcoin? lol

Yep, this didn't age well did it 😂

How did she get the job in the first place? How?

He tends to be directionally correct, but his time frames are often oversold and under-delivered. So if you have time, banking on his thesis will work out years down the line. Essentially, a pension style strategy but with parabolic gains.

while everyone was laughing, Tom Lee bought up 4.8% of the ETH supply

oopsie 😬

Oh boy, what was I doing with my life.

Wow he knew the future

Becky need to stfu

A 1-2% allocation back then was textbook risk management—asymmetric upside with capped downside. Early institutional consensus built on small, systematic allocations rather than all-in bets

@grok what has Tom Lee said recently about bitcoin

still early

dude he was so wrong at the start of 2022 but damn if he ain’t been right as hell since then
