Tom Lee says that Bitcoin- “Flip” IT – by playing with the dominance of dollars in the world of local commodities, just as he constantly kills him on the role of bitcoin currency and long-term price.
In a podcast exchange with Cathri Wood, Lee framed the coming competition through a 1971-style lens, arguing that the end of the Gold Standard catalyzed a wave of financial engineering far greater than gold; According to him, the extensive tokazization of money and goods will be softened by that history, putting Eletharu smart-contract vehicles to capture the lion’s share of work.

Wood set the stage with a high-stakes view of the crypto market’s decade-long revival. “You know, the ecosystem we expect to hit $25 trillion by 2030, most of that in Bitcoin,” he said, based on rules that are still at the level of 1971. ” He asked Lee directly: “I would like to hear your thoughts on why the th or ecosystem will surpass bitcoin.”

Lee’s response was to go back to that point of the same course. “In 1971 there was when Nixon officially left the gold flight. The immediate beneficiary was the demand and the market for gold,” he said.
But according to him, the development was mainly caused by the possibility that the currency created money around the dollar that is not available. “In 1971, the dollar became completely sonnikety because it was no longer backed by anything. So there was a risk that the world was importing dollar currencies. He continued, “Dollar Persinance towards the end of that period … went from 27 percent of GDP targets … to 57 percent of central bank positions and 80 percent of financial quotes.”
For Lee, the result of the market structure was unity: “Today’s market cap is 40 trillion compared to two trillion of gold. So in other words, 5 percent of all assets in existence.” He then withdraws a coin of crypto. “In 2025, we think that everything is now starting to be done as we only transfer dollars to Blockchain, we become Elercoin.

Clearly, Lee viewed flipping as a structural design rather than a zero-sum bet. “That’s our operating philosophy because I’m still a Bitcoin bull,” he said. “I have a hard time with Bitcoin and I believe it [Ark Invest’s] Bitcoin stones are actually available. So we think that the fair price of Bitcoin should be at least $1.5 to $2.1 million, but we can see higher prices. “
