Tom Lee's optimistic outlook on the 2026 cryptocurrency market has once again drawn criticism from the crypto community. On December 26, Lee's comments were met with mockery, with some users questioning his credibility. In response, Lee promoted his premium service, while also expressing frustration by labeling a critic a "clown" for questioning his Ethereum price targets. This backlash is not new for Lee, as his bullish predictions have previously faced skepticism. In September, Andrew Kang dismissed Lee's Ethereum theory as "stupid." Additionally, recent bearish forecasts from Lee's fund have further fueled public criticism, highlighting the ongoing debate over his market predictions.
