During his keynote speech at the BTC in DC event on September 30, Saylor said noted that Strategy’s cryptocurrency treasury framework was widely replicated, specifically citing BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. (AMEX:BMNR), which is Lee chairs.

“Tom Lee has emerged in just a few months, maybe a few weeks, as probably the most visible, influential spokesperson in the entire Ethereum ecosystem,” he said.

“Capital flows because it trusts Tom Lee,” the Bitcoin bull said.

Movement is ‘legitimized’

Saylor said it’s a net positive when people like Lee have conversations with early Ethereum entrepreneurs, including Vitalik Buterine.

“And what’s interesting is that the whole movement is becoming commercialized, institutionalized, legitimized, rationalized, getting a little older, a little more credible,” Saylor said.
