Can this car really pull it off? Let's talk about the guy who shouts "ten thousand dollars" every year.

First, some data: The institution Bitmine, which specializes in hoarding ETH, is currently holding 3.86 million ETH at an average purchase price of $3,925. Current book value? They're sitting on a floating loss of over $3 billion.

Who's behind this? Tom Lee. This guy really dares to call the price, and he's been doing it for years:

Back in 2018, he boldly predicted ETH would break $10,000 by year-end. The result? It bottomed out at $80.
In 2021, he was at it again—same tune: $10,000! The actual high was $4,800.
In 2024, he kept at it, still calling for $10,000. The price peaked at $4,100 before stalling.
Now for 2025, he's aiming even higher, directly shouting $18,000. And now? Can't even hold $3,000.

But to be fair, Lee isn't just all talk. He actually puts real money on the line. You have to respect that kind of dedication👀

So the question is: Will things be different this time? As always—the market will give us the answer.
