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, on April 1 (UTC+8), Ethereum Treasury company Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee said on the X platform that, based on the United States’ major regional economic structure, 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 prices, and Florida has relatively short commuting distances, all of which to some extent buffer the upward shock in oil prices. In addition, Lee emphasized that the “crisis” itself contains both “danger and opportunity,” but most investors often focus only on risks and ignore potential opportunities. (Source: ODAYLY)
