Ethereum Treasury Company Chairman Tom Lee stated that high oil prices are not necessarily negative for the U.S. economy, as some states like Texas, New York, and Florida mitigate the impact through their respective characteristics. He pointed out that "crisis" contains both opportunities and risks, but investors often overlook the latter.

ME News message. April 1 (UTC+8). On the X platform, Tom Lee, chairman of Ethereum Treasury company Bitmine, said that based on the economic structure of the main regions in the United States, high oil prices are not an absolute negative for the overall economy. Texas benefits from the energy industry, New York relies on public transportation to reduce sensitivity to oil-price changes, and Florida has shorter commuting distances—each of which, to some extent, cushions the upside pressure from oil prices. In addition, Lee emphasized that the “crisis” itself includes both “danger and opportunity,” but most investors often focus only on risk and ignore potential opportunities. (Source: ODAILY)
