Tom Lee: High Oil Prices May Not Necessarily Impact the US Economy, "Crisis = Opportunity" is Underestimated

Odaily News Tom Lee, Chairman of Ethereum treasury company Bitmine, stated on platform X that based on the economic structures of major US regions, high oil prices are not an absolute negative for the overall economy. Texas benefits from the energy industry, New York relies on public transit to reduce sensitivity to oil prices, and Florida has shorter commuting distances, all of which cushion the impact of rising oil prices to some extent. Furthermore, Lee emphasized that "crisis" inherently contains both "danger and opportunity," but most investors often focus only on the risks while overlooking the potential opportunities.
