Thomas Lee Presents The Economics of Cryptocurrencies | Upfront Summit 2018

Slides available here: www.slideshare.net/msuster/fu...

[@hoastbeef1202]

Tom Lee is a man ahead of his time. Every time he's on CNBC, the rest of the panel have this smug look on their faces and ask question is a demeaning way about Bitcoin to find flaws in Lee's position. Lee just sits there and fires back just straight facts, no need to get worked up. Always calm cool, collected because he knows he's right. History will do this man justice, just wait and see.

[@giovanieeugenio7489]

I Agree

[@falakoala4579]

It's early days. If you understand the tech you know that it's valuable. Never met someone that can correctly explain the space and are not bullish. Tech+finance. The 2 hardest things to understand. Then you mix them. Then you need to know when people dont understand something their initial response is to think it's stupid.. Then you need to understand your average human is pretty dumb lazy and protective of their intellectual ego.

[@cizzlen07]

@@falakoala4579 exactly spot on!

[@TWN321]

Lately they seem to defer to him on CNBC. Whatever he says they all agree with him.

[@Idontbelievethehype2]

Excellent presentation! Great analysis. Tom is such a credible voice. We're lucky to have an an analyst willing to share so many ideas for free.

[@icoresearchgroup4175]

Ken Greiner Agreed!

[@blockchaineducatedintervie2714]

I always say this innovation is not going anywhere and I think more people will adopt it. I just feel sorry for the uneducated people or haters who follow the FUD as they dont understand the core technology of it. This whole thing will only grow over time. This is one of the best analysis backed with facts I have seen on this topic for a long time. Thomas Lee knows what he is talking about.

[@L33TGUY]

This guy knows what's up!

[@SilverWealth_Draper_Mint]

L33T GUY He knows what get rich quick customers want to hear... This charlatan is selling pipe dreams..The only crypto that will matter , is the one the government creates......

[@joejingojack]

L33T GUY You probably smoke weed every day, I think I know what's up.

[@cobrauf]

Wish I had seen this 3 years ago, everything Tom said is proving to be right on the money

[@dean827]

Yes! I did and acted. I ❤ this guy

[@dukeimus]

I always love listening to Mr. Thomas Lee when he speak about crypto. I learned more about the idea of cryptocurrencies and what's it mean than the technical part which can be lost when I'm not programmer.

[@GabeHiggins]

Facinating research. So far, Tom has been giving remarkable information on his outlook on bitcoin. Anyone taking this seriously is going to benefit. Would love to get those slides.

[@TheArtOfTrading]

This presentation is pretty on point. As a 28 year old who grew up experiencing the world before the internet (briefly) and seeing it grow from the ground floor as a user and programmer (and trader), I can't help but agree with all his long-term predictions. I've never trusted fiat currency even since I was a kid, and I am beyond stoked to see an alternative being developed. I for one have no qualms about moving from fiat to decentralized digital currency, and I don't know many young people who don't share my sentiment. The only ones who don't share that sentiment are the ones who don't really understand what crypto is, or don't really understand what fiat is.

[@HethVoid]

This is a great comment. I like your last point. The single largest reason why people don't believe, or are skeptical about the disruption potential of crypto, is that they don't understand what fiat is.

[@Gamevid4]

Those stats are mind blowing. If you are not in crypto assets right now it is a very good idea to study up on how they work and what they are, because this is not going away and it is likely going to grow exponentially over the next few years.

[@tensevo]

All you need is 1-2% exposure to crypto as a good hedge.

[@parrotboss785]

wow after watching i felt so hyped that i liquidated all my stocks to buy bitcoin. Thank you so much for sharing so good information

[@verma6701]

Franz, But Bitcoin/Ethereum still have the highest chance of being one of those successful protocols...! EOS/Cardano/Icon/Tezos etc also have great potential... Its not a zero-sum game....! Few protocols will worth trillions of dollars each...

[@FuadiansyahSamsuri]

Woah, diversify buddy...

[@aldoluvs]

[@albertB215]

Lol investing upon a freakin youtube video. These people man. So easy to ripoff

[@danmount33]

That is extremely careless with any asset.

[@arsimajeti1458]

Simply extraordinary presentation by Mr.Lee, the confidence he reflects covered by his sheer professionalism facts-on-sheet attitude, towards the Crypto phenomenon, makes him one of the most valued analyst at CNBC as well as an established senior adviser at "Fundstrat Resarch Co". I have been following his analysis and debates, and every time Mr. Lee is on the round table discussion you can see and understand that simply he is just on another level, I don't know if this is the place for praising him for just being who he is, simple, honest, and great Human being. It's easy to read between the lines after I first read Mr.Lee's analysis and maybe being on the psychology department for me was rather easy, body language of the people talks more than thousands of the words indeed, calm linear voice during the presentation, or in any debates on Cnbc speaks volumes about the character of Mr.Lee, ( this rule of course it applies for all of us) that's why i humbly advice to listen twice of what Mr.Lee wanted to specifically say, especially Millennial's and their influence on the future market. best of luck

[@markom325]

This should be viral. No ego, no BS, just data.

The clearest presentation on the underlying logic of why Bitcoin is valuable: it builds trust and prevents fraud. Excellent presentation!

[@momojarwan1641]

Who would want a horseless carriage? Now we have cars of all shapes and sizes. An auto industry that makes the world go round, one delivery at a time. "The world has enough space for may be 5 computers" Now we have computers on our wrists, cars, smart TVs, fridges and so on. Every generation hates the next generation's disruptions and yet those disruptions become the standard. We take high speed internet for granted, I remember the struggles on dial up and yet now when your broadband is down for a few minutes we scream "what is this?! The stone age?!" Bullish on crypto, will hodle the shit out of it because guess what, the previous generation will retire and guess who will take over.....

[@ezrhino100]

The best presenter on this subject. He actually gets it wrong because his predictions are conservative.

[@CoinCrunch]

Awesmoe stuff here, going to share it with the Coin Crunch community mastermind :)

[@joejingojack]

That's the best sarcastic interview I've seen in a while, tryin to look both innocent and bullish at the same time in cryptos is a master piece.

bitcoin decreases volatility coz its by nature deflationary which is a good hedge against risk associated with asset class based on inflationary economic system. But still has a long way to prove its worthiness.

[@Kopsticks]

I was writing a paper on Bitcoin vs. The banking system and my professor hit me with this question, I have no clue how to answer it, any ideas?: One counter-argument that I saw that you didn't address is credit. It strikes me that you could not have a credit or loan system with bitcoin because it requires the person to have the bitcoin available. (To solve this problem, it strikes me, would be to tie yourself up into your original criticism of banking altogether, and, yet, you need some way of issuing credit since most economies rely heavily on credit.) Could someone please explain to me Bitcoin vs Credit?

[@shekarnt]

That's the reason, it is a scam.

[@MBarberfan4life]

His objection is question-begging. It blindly assumes our current system is correct over a system like Bitcoin.

[@shekarnt]

@@MBarberfan4life same goes with the bitcoin as well. Assumption that bitcoin is better than our existing system.

[@BestOfBitcoin]

Summary: The speaker talks about how the Japanese stock market rose dramatically from 1950 to 1972, despite concerns about investing in a less developed country. He then discusses how the Millennial generation is now entering their prime income and investment years, and predicts that they will drive the housing and crypto markets. He also explains how investing in crypto can offer uncorrelated returns and reduce portfolio volatility.
