Andrew Kang, a partner at Mechanism Capital, publicly criticized Fundstrat CIO Tom Lee's proposed $60,000 Ethereum (ETH) price target on September 24, calling the prediction "stupid". Kang believes that Lee's optimistic expectations for the rise in ETH price, particularly based on the arguments of tokenization and stablecoin growth, fundamentally misunderstand the mechanisms of value accumulation. Kang pointed out that despite the tokenization market having grown 1000 times since 2020, Ethereum's daily transaction fees are still at a five-year low, indicating that there is no proportional relationship between activity levels and value capture. Kang himself predicts that the ETH price will consolidate between $1,000 and $4,000 long-term, sharply contrasting with Lee's extremely bullish viewpoint.

He pointed out that the key is not to completely abandon airdrop incentives, but to establish a mechanism similar to a "credit scoring" system through on-chain transparency and behavioral data, to filter out true long-term participants and make token distribution healthier. Why are IPO results always "impressive"? What’s wrong with Airdrop? Haseeb pointed out that the big pump on the first day of a traditional IPO has always been a deliberate design by companies. For companies, attracting long-term shareholders is more important than short-term speculation, so they will offer shares at a discount to institutional investors with long-term reputations, such as BlackRock or Fidelity. These large institutions' records indicate that they will not open.

The encryption community has recently been flooded with a seemingly "stupid yet very real" question: If dumping $2 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) can instantly lead to a market crash, why has Michael Saylor and the ETF army been able to continuously buy $83 billion over the past year without sending BTC prices to the moon?
